Here the link to my 3D parametric STEP and VRML models You are very welcome if may consider to have a look at the VRML format generated by FreeCAD to suggest or create a solution for this riddle giving a color table correspondence, injecting in the VRML generated all the properties you are looking at… So a script could add emissive and specular properties to the material of the VRMLsĮ.g. My parametric 3D models, exported by FreeCAD in VRML are managed by a script… I used to render the official 3D models with the 3d-viewer option “render material properties” OFFĪnyway, we could have a solution that will leave all happy… I would prefer not to include those rendering properties, if they are not correctly assigned… The 3D libs are far from being perfect at the moment… Now that FreeCAD exports vrml files that the 3D viewer can use.” (some of material properties are very wrong) “I hope at some point in the future our 3D models could be improved This is a common philosophy that also the other ECAD sw have …īut, coming back to VRML models, as Wayne stated at this thread
I need 3D to check the pcb routes and to check enclosures constrains… My approach to 3D models is a mechanical approach, more then aesthetic You are right, my 3D models, and in general 3D models coming from FreeCAD will have only diffuseColor property “you need to add more detailed materials in blender to get a more decent realistic render” That hackrf-one board can be rendered in FreeCAD as in Blender, and moreover with the texture STEP (or STP) format is the standard de-facto for CAD interchangeĪnd gives you a mechanical model with real scale factor for pcb enclosure design and you look one reply before the one with the video, you get a more complex board rendered in FreeCAD Moreover, kicad developers are moving to integrate 3D IGES and later STEP format directly into kicad 3d-viewer… so the first you move toward this approach, the less you will have to change later… You can use FreeCAD (open source) do do all the job! Using STEP models in your design will give you the ability to export all the artwork in mechanical 3D environment, letting you to design your kicad pcb with the same dimensions - appearance that you’ll get in mechanical software. So, if you need to check if your board can fit in an enclosure, kicad StepUp will give you the answer… Then you may use the open source kicad StepUp script to convert board and 3D VRML models to 3D mechanical objects for ECAD MCAD collaboration. if you want to check your dimensions in an enclosure), you may consider to add 3D parts generated from FreeCAD or from STEP models. (There is a quirk in the Outline window that requires separate actions for first selecting an item and then doing something with it. Release the mouse button, left-click on the texture line again and then drag and drop it onto the 'Sculpty Material' line. Moreover, if you want to export your board to 3D for mechanical purposes or interchange (e.g. Left-click on the item 'Default Sculpty Texture'. I agree very much… 3D viewer is a very useful tool…
