tlehnhaeuser Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Does anyone have a 3D file of a Human Arm their willing to share? I'll take an format that IC reads. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a WRL file of a women and extracted the arm. Its not perfect (no pun intended) since I can really modify the WRL file without it converting to a rough solid. But this will do I suppose.

But this will do I suppose. 21663[/snapback] Tom, the number 1 source for humans (including perfect women) and their respective body parts is Poser: Poser I'm using it in order to get hands into my illustrations. Using Poser, you can set up any posture and export the geometry to e.g. *.obj, which is read by IC. The exported file has a limited resolution, so I often use other applications to smooth the resulting geometry, depending on the required quality. From your rendering it's hard to tell what the quality of your glass arm really is, but I think a Poser arm would be better as far as quality and details are concerned. The attached image shows a rendered collection of hands (part of my 'homegrown' library) I did with Poser, just as an example. Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks Bernd, I'll have to check Poser out. On another note, Bernd do you find you have problems importing OBJ files into IronCAD? I have downloaded some free files from Dosch Design and not sure it the problem lies with them or IronCAD but the files come in missing faces. This one in particular: https://www.dosch-design.com/demos/Sample_D...ars2005_obj.zip I am actually looking for a useable 3D file I can use in IronCAD of a Crane which dosch has, but if there OBJs don't work right, not going to waste the money. Any feedback is welomed from anyone. Also if anyone has a Crane file they are willing to share, that would solve my problems straight out. thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I noticed Dosch also has .3ds files available, you might want to try them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There shouldn't be problems importing "clean" geometry via OBJ into IC, although IC is not really made to handle polygon files. A single (or a group of) solid(s) should come in without problems. OTOH, the Dosch car is a single object consisting of mixed geometries. It contains some (polygonal) solids as well as surface objects, at a pretty low resolution. I can imagine that this is kind of problematic for an application like IC. Edit: I've converted the file (externally) from QBJ to 3DS. While IC chews on the OBJ for a looooong time, the 3DS opens almost immediately. Seems to be the better format for IC (see attachment).

tlehnhaeuser Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Bernd, Thanks for the input. Well taken Kev, I have tried the 3DS and VRML but they are poor quality and not good enough. tx tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
