Luuster

Hee people, 

I am Dutch  3D engineer with a passion for Barbecueing.
As a project I recreated my Egg in 3D.

I was wondering if there where other people here doing this?

Nice post. Did you do the graphics?  Pretty cool man.

I created the model in Autodesk Inventor. There I also created the images and clips with in.

Luuster

MaskedMarvel

Wow. I can even see where the bolts are tightened on the lower band back there. VERY COOL

Mickey

Thank you for the post.  

Foghorn

That's very cool. 

I would like to add a picture that I suspect our new Dutch friend would appreciate, but I can't seem to be able to do it with the new format.  Can somebody please give step-by-step?  I'm using the "attach image/file" icon and "browsing" until I find the image on my computer and then when I click "Open", nothing happens...  What am I missing?

That is a great shot!

Very cool! I can't even begin to fathom what an egg costs in your land!

Eggerty

That is really cool!

@Luuster  Very nice model. I'm a mechanical engineer using both inventor and solidworks so i know the time you put into it to get it right.

Is it a Large size egg?

Would you be willing to share a .stp file??

Sure, do you have an email adress?

it is a big green egg medium.....


Also i have improved the model, now almost all parts are in there now.

Luuster

I have updated the lid, not it also has the handle.

Luuster

And since I had the parts anyway...

That's pretty complete.

I'd suggest a procedural bump map for the texture of the exterior glaze.

I not very skilled with the textures or "looks". This is the best I could find.
If there are ways to improve the look, I am interrested.
