Our latest 3D model is the USB IR Toy v2.0. We continued to play around with Maxwell’s free rendering plugin for SketchUp. We were especially pleased by the glass rendering of the LED.
Exporting the rendering with a transparent alpha background has proven to be a challenge. If you know of an easy way to achieve this please let us know via the comments, or the contact form.
The models will be published in the Dangerous Prototypes 3D warehouse collection. They are also uploaded to our SVN. You can find them inside the “art” folders in the respective project folders. Check out the 3D view below. You can zoom and rotate the model.
You can get IR Toy v2 for $22.05, including world wide shipping.
That looks amazing! What format does EAGLE-Up export to? I use Altium at work and wouldn’t mind creating a script to export to Sketchup so I could play with this as well. Would that be a possibility?
altium can export step/iges, both can be imported in any serious 3d rendering app (XSI, MAYA, Blender..) where you can play with rendering :)
