Designed a new body at school

[paintballer187]

In school I am taking a CADD class, we advanced from Autocad 2000 to a program called Solid Works. My teacher asked me to make something, so I decided to design a new Raptor body. I didn't have my 'mag yet when I first decided to do this but my bro has the same class and is doing his mag body. So anyways, I made some new advances on it. Basically i just wanted to design something that I liked to do and something that i knew about. It has a vertical feed, Autococker detent adaptable, and some milling; thats basically it. Here are some pics, the first is a screenshot of the actual program. I hope the pics aren't to big. let me know what you guys think about it, or what you would like to see me design, within reason.

another pic just of the body

it kindof looks like a cocker body

i didn't think cockers had side slots for the cocking knob or a tube in the bottom for the striker like that, haha. but anyways, its a Raptor body.

Is there a website where I can download a tryout CADD program?

Coffee try KaZaA !

[paintballer187]

CoFFeY[NiTrO]--i don't think so, never heard of one anyways. the newer ones are actually very large programs, so i don't know if it would be possible to download a version of one, or it might just take forever

Hmm.. im not much for CAD.. I use 3DSM, mainly for art, not design. Thats how I made my Fantasy Emag.. who nobody voted for :)
Well, it didn't have anythign too special on it. Problem is I'm running Win98 with 128 megs of ram, and the Emag was around 200,000 polygos. Yea, 200,000. So I crashed alot and hardly ever got to work on it.

Heres what 3D Studio looks like .... I loaded the Emag and a wireframe of it.. looks neat.

i think the cocking slot is too far forward. i don't think you could have the milling go that far forward either. not sure though.

[paintballer187]

oh i should mention that i didn't just copy and paste a body off the internet and put some milling and stuff on it. that was built entirely by me. i just took some measurements off of my body and converted them and made that.

Vegeta--did you design the whole thing by hand? or how did that work?

Cha0tic--i took the measurements staight off of my original body so the cocking slots should be good, not sure about the milling though

Is there any good imaging things like CADD I could d/l off the intertnet?

Yeah, you've GOT to make that sig MUCH smaller. Credit for having the biggest sig ever on AO though...

[paintballer187]

alright i took out my gun specs so that cut down about 7 lines worth of text there.

[Failure]

A tad bit bigger now..Easy e needs bigger font because he is a bad mofo.

i found a new "huge sig king", this is his thread: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=19709

thats like 2 or 3 times the size of mine

You can download anything ever made, you need to get hooked up to some piracy clients though.

[paintballer187]

MagMan5446--not sure if i know what you are talking about, but i don't think i do either, piracy can't be legal.

Both of those are sweet! paintballer187's and Vegetas!! Keep it up and lets see some really sweet renders with annodizing and stuff! :p

[paintballer187]

udtseal--when i get back to school i will do some anodizing and different color patterns. i will have to wait 2 weeks though because of christmas vacation.
