In this video we'll take a look at replacing existing geometry with updated design iterations in your modo scene.]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8852/modo-mesh-centers-06-replace-geometry/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8853/modo-mesh-centers-05-render-setup http://cadjunkie.com/8853/modo-mesh-centers-05-render-setup#comments Sat, 05 May 2012 12:00:06 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8853 We've imported our CAD data, setup a rig system, and attached our components to the rig in an organized manner. In this video we'll head over to the render tab and setup a scene using our original CAD model from SolidWorks.]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8853/modo-mesh-centers-05-render-setup/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8850/modo-mesh-centers-04-rig-connect http://cadjunkie.com/8850/modo-mesh-centers-04-rig-connect#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 12:00:36 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8850 We've setup our rigs but our mesh items are not connected yet. In this video we'll be attaching our individual CAD components to our rig setup with group locaters. ]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8850/modo-mesh-centers-04-rig-connect/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8848/modo-mesh-centers-03-rig-setup http://cadjunkie.com/8848/modo-mesh-centers-03-rig-setup#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 12:00:11 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8848 When we work with CAD data we depend heavily on rigging. Rigging allows us to have control over our models without distorting the mesh items. In this video we'll take a look at setting up a basic rigging system for our 'dude' model. ]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8848/modo-mesh-centers-03-rig-setup/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8854/modo-mesh-centers-02-basic-import http://cadjunkie.com/8854/modo-mesh-centers-02-basic-import#comments Wed, 02 May 2012 12:00:28 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8854 Working with CAD data in modo can be an absolute pleasure or an absolute pain. In this video we'll go over the best practices for importing a model from SolidWorks that we're going to use for rigging and rendering in the following videos. ]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8854/modo-mesh-centers-02-basic-import/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8846/modo-mesh-centers-01-mesh-centers http://cadjunkie.com/8846/modo-mesh-centers-01-mesh-centers#comments Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:40:50 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8846 This week we're taking a look at importing CAD geometry and best practices for importing CAD geometry into modo. In this video we'll take a look at item centers and how to control the center point for your models by building a classic modo material widget as an example.]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8846/modo-mesh-centers-01-mesh-centers/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8528/sw-guitar-16-saddle-and-bridge http://cadjunkie.com/8528/sw-guitar-16-saddle-and-bridge#comments Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:00:40 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8528 Really quickly, we're going to dive in and model our saddle and bridge for our guitar.]]> http://cadjunkie.com/8528/sw-guitar-16-saddle-and-bridge/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/8526/sw-guitar-15-back http://cadjunkie.com/8526/sw-guitar-15-back#comments Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:00:05 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=8526 We've come a long way on our guitar ladies and gentlemen!
