Technical Illustration

[mmiller]

I recently did up some isometric projections of a Mercedes engine to illustrate the assembly sequence for a scale model.
Not my best work, and i cut some corners - but it was a freebie :)

Work is all done in illustrator.
The key is to draw it out in plan view and then distort into plane using the values in the attached image isotools.jpg

mmiller no i dont do it for a living, im still goin throu University, but ive beed studying it for about 5 years now, some in my spare time and some full time extra classes. i enjoy it, not just for technical side of it, but it gives me understanding of perspective that i can apply to all means of work, :D

Great Engine, i love it !
