Solar ice drilling machine

[Dann-O]

OK thought it might be fun to join the challenge. This is a solar assisted mechanical drill the concept is that there will be water heated up the make the drill cut through ice better now I am working on the drill head.

comming along quite nicely. how many minutes in are you?

[Dann-O]

About 15 or so not much. Radial symmetry is fast in Wings other things might prove to be problematic.

[TNTxGRAVE]

what software are you using?

[Dann-O]

Wings 3D (http://wings3d.com/)Open source box modeler works pretty good for quite a few things. It is the best modeler in my budget.

how much does it cost. because for a relatively cheap price you can get the student version of 3d max or maya. Thats if you are a student.

[Dann-O]

Open source it is free of any cost. just download it. I have been looking into a version of Houdini like that but right now I use what I got. I render in Messiah for most things in bryce occasionally.

OK more done about 15 minutes on the tires here.

[Dann-O]

OK about 90 minutes into it i have to put the two parts together and all that yet. But here is what I have so far.
