Looking pretty good there Deres.

Do you actually do any real work?

 

Nope. I'm a real architect

 

That looks very good Deres.epper:

 

COOL photos. Thanks for sharing. They are awesome!!!

 

Looking good Deres.

Sorry to hear about the architect problem though

I'm a civil engineer and we are constantly butting heads with the project architects.

 

keep on building Deres....very nice!

 

Thank you all for your support, guess what the first virtual project will be...
THE SWIMING POOL!!!epper:
I'm waiting for proposals...

 

And we await that project, fully understanding that it will be occupied by bikini wearing lasses!

 

Let him be boys
Keep up the good work deres.

JoeBecker was just kidding. He is one of the coolest guys in this forum and I would accept and lough at everything that he might said... Oink

Btw Yiannis, how much the startech package costs in Cyprus?

 

Nice start!

 

That don't sound to promising Joe,do you think we should help deres become a good American architect?

 

Nice work Deres. I'm currently teaching myself Autodesk Inventor. What do you use to draw up the 3-D Patriot?

I spent a year in the 3.5 year Masters in Architecture program at SUNY at Buffalo. Hated the professors, my undergraduate is in Electrical Engineering, so I definitely was butting heads with the artsy architect types. Glad to hear you're not one of them!

Oh, and in college, a Mechanical Engineering friend of mine turned a car trunk into a hot tub! Used the heat from the exhaust to warm the water!

 

Nice work Deres. I'm currently teaching myself Autodesk Inventor. What do you use to draw up the 3-D Patriot?

I used Autocad 2008. Thanks for your good words

 

very nice deres! about the startech package that you asked..i know that only the grille inserts cost 380 euro...

 

good work my friend deres. Probably you must add an option of a greek sunrise. It would make it to be very lovely

 

Very nice job Deres. Have you ever tried 3d studio max? It would look absolutely realistic. You can import from dwg's. I use ArchiCAD for drawing, but when it comes to 3d's, I give it to a friend of mine that works with 3d studio. Great result.

 

Finished!

Well, I think the 3d model is finished. I'll play a little with materials, and after Christmas I'll start murdering it!!

 

A Greek and a lover of architecture too! (Two things we have in common deres!)

 

deres, where is the ladder to get in the pool for a swim.

 

Merry Christmas!!!

Me and my virtual Patriot would like to wish to you all

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

If Santa had a Patriot, I think it would look like that...

 

Looks awesome Deres.

I, too, am glad that you are not one of "those" architects. I am a structural engineer who got his degree in Architectural Engineering. That pretty much means that while I had my focus on structural classes, I also studied mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and construction management as well as having architecture courses (3 architecture history classes and 4 architecture studio classes.... man did I hate those all nighters at least once per week)...

In one of our studio classes the professor (an architect) came over to my friend and this conversation took place:
Prof. "That looks nice, but where did you break the rules?".
Friend, "I didn't break any rules."
Prof. "Exactly, you should be breaking the rules...."
Friend "Listen, I am a structural engineer in an architecture class... In real life if I break the rules, you die... you do not want to teach me to break the rules"
Prof. "This is a studio class, you are supposed to pretend you are an architect"
Friend "I will never be, or even pretend to be an architect.... I like logic..."


The model looks good though. That is one thing I do miss from the studio classes: making 3d digital models...

 

bump for darcygodwin

 

HEY! haha you posted this about 5 seconds after I posted asking if anyone made a model of it!!

I'm using inventor and solidworks, any chance you could save the file and find a way to move it? I'm more concerned with the frame members under the front if you had done any of that, but even if you didn't, I could start with your front end and then continue with the underside from there... your call if you wanted to share or not... but I would totally appreciate it!

Hi Darsey, this is Deres, sorry I didn't read your post earlier.
If I got it right, you want to use my 3d model as a base to redesign and built your own custom front. I have no problem at all to e-mail it to you, but you must know that I made it using photos and some elevation sketches that I scanned from the Jeep Patriot brochure, I didn't take any measuraments. That means that it's not accurate at all (especially for your purpose!).
It is also my first attempt on 3d modelling, some solids and 3d faces are cursorily made and sometimes they don't even fit to each other.
If you still want it, let me know...

 

I am very impressed with those Images----Hey someone who knows how to use a computer properly!!!

 

Wow! Can these images be used to program lathes or create actual parts? (I'm a little ignorant on the whole manufacturing process) If so, how about off road front and rear bumpers! I'm thinking SEMA

 

I would have modelling a Pat in Softimage XSI but lacks of hires 3view to make it accurate.

 

Deres, I think you should offer your help solving the multi-problem olympic stadium of Montreal built for the games of 1976.:smiley_thumbs_up:

Parts of contour ciment ring fell, roof canvas was wriped off and snow droppped in, many cracks in ciment foundations. The retracting roof never worked! :doh:

This was supposed to be the «nec plus ultra» by french architect Tailbert (sorry if misspelled). A big hole in the citizens finances. Many many times the initial estimated cost

They even thought of demolishing it, all suggestions are too expensive. Why didn't the government choose a Canadian (from Quebec) architech that new the weather (winds, cold snow, heat, rain, etc.) and its effects in this part of the world (guys like Bombardier or Lavalin). Maybe they'd give you a chance? Not sure you would like it

 

hey guys, yes those models can be used in manufacturing... Just takes some transferring between programs. The autocad model can be imported to inventor as a solid body, but those bodies can be copied and given mechanical properties. Basically, if you have a model that could be described as a bent steel sheet, then inventor would give a flat pattern to lasercut, and showing dimensions where to weld... And something that would go into a Cnc mill or lathe can be coded using programs like MasterCam etc... Good stuff. This is how I'll be making my new front end on my 09 pat. Pretty pumped about it, I'll have to post shop pictures and share the specs etc. ...
