Analysis of Engineering Drawings

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Till the invent of sophisticated CAD platforms converting engineering drawings into useful presentation was a challenge for designers and engineers. After years of thorough data research and development now we have highly interactive CAD software such as AutoCAD, Tekla that can convert large quantities of scanned images into 3D intuitive models on a fly. This software offers a mean for embedding various graphics algorithms in your proposed design allowing immediate use of digital images.

Rapid advancement in CAD techniques and migration from 2D engineering drawings to 3D models has created new opportunities for the designers to think beyond paper–to-cad conversion. It provides an interface where a user gives sketches of the design and the computer would interpret, analyze and represent data in an easy-to-understand 3D model.

Basic algorithms for geometric translation of 2D engineering drawings to 3D model have several limitations and are not feasible for real-life applications. Complex geometric algorithms along with symbolic drawing information provide intuitive solution to analyze engineering drawings with high-level of accuracy.

It is obvious that the documents scanning will have errors at every stage and these errors needs to be eliminated before translating them to 3D model for analysis. In many real-life applications it is a viable option to manually convert the drawings into a CAD model if time is not a constraint. Second option can be use of online sketching software which allows the designer to first make a rough sketch, which can then be transferred to a CAD platform for further modifications.

If your company has huge engineering documentation database, switching to CAD platform not only helps you browse such a database in an efficient way but retrieve the right information on your finger-tips. Here the focus is not really on functionality of 3D model but on finding right graphical details which prove to be useful to the engineer. In my opinion it may come as a surprise if you convert a scanned engineering drawing into a CAD model using AutoCAD or Tekla which not only saves your time but allows you to focus on your core activities like analysis and preparation of construction drawings.

Thanks to pencils, painting talent and carefulness, a lot of artists have already created wonderful pencil arts that it’s difficult to tell them apart with black and white photos. They vary from static to active, but share the common characteristics that greatly surprises audiences; furthermore, some of their works can leave us unspeakable. Following are typically amazing pencil drawings on different subjects, including both humans and animals. In addition to a large number of excellent water color or oil paints, pencil drawings have diversified the world art collection and glorified clever workers. Let’s have a look at some of them.

Caricature Drawings

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Portraits and photos are so passé! For your fun side to liven up, you caricature!!!

A caricature is not only a portrait of a person, but as well a way to embellish those characteristic features that super pose the person. The facial features need to be considered when you plan to learn drawing caricatures. Adopting a step by step process makes knowing how to draw caricatures easier. Some of the simple steps that you might find very much useful in learning caricature drawings include:

Decide Your Subject: It is the essential point in caricature drawing and helps you in conceptualizing a unique idea. You need to spot the specific characteristics and qualities or utilize the outlook of the subject to come up with an interesting and fun portrait.

Draw The Elements – Elements are the final outcome of any caricature. You need to balance the elements of exaggeration and likeness. A person with a double chin can have a typical bottle gourd kind of a head shape; but then you must ensure accurate representation of the eyes, nose etc. Or, when a person has peculiar eyes or nose, you can emphasize them but keep the rest of the characteristics adequately recognizable. You as well need to draw the most detailed components when doing your final touches.

Ensure the Proportion- If you want a positive outcome of your drawings then need to pay attention on this point. Proportions are often exaggerated in caricatures to create a distorting and fun effect. For example, in a poker club, friends may want to gift a caricature to one of the players. And based on the descriptions about this player by his poker club friends, a few of his features – like he has a beer belly, or stubble, or wears a baseball cap, or has a peculiar look on his face when he wins or loses a game and so on can be drawn in non-proportional way. In either cases, you must ensure that the size of the round or pointed spectacles or the smiling curves do not subdue the rest of the recognizable characteristics of the person being caricatured.

Distortion and Exaggeration – When you make an overstatement on a person’s character and create a hyperbole, it need in finalizing your caricature drawing.  For example, a bespectacled girl can be shown with big round or pointy spectacles to exaggerate that characteristic. Or, a person with crow’s feet on her eyes can be displayed with exaggerated smiling curves and lines to emphasize her ever happy face. At times, a person’s specific characteristics can be used to distort the image in a fun way. Like, an avid tennis player’s face or his T-Shirt may be drawn looking like a tennis racket head with netting lines etc. In any of these cases, however, it is very important the person is recognizable by his near and dear ones; else, the essence of a fun caricature may easily be lost in such distortions and exaggerations.

PDF to HTML5 Magazine Converter by FlipHTML5 Now Introduces Great Animation Editor Function

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

(PRWEB) May 05, 2014

FlipHTML5.com, a Hong Kong software supplier, introduces great animation editor functions for its PDF to HTML5 magazine converter. The software now can create interactive magazines and catalogs with rich animation effects.

The FlipHTML5 is an impressive PDF to HTML5 magazine converter which provides both the Windows and Mac version. The software has powerfully amazing characteristics to create interactive HTML5 magazines and catalogs.

Both magazines and catalogs have been around for a while. However, to add animation to these creations can only make them better and more engaging. For example, when a user creates a catalog using the FlipHTML5 Animation Editor, they can showcase their products in attractive eye-catching animations. A view of this great feature is available at YouTube: FlipHTML5 Animation Editor: Enrich Flip Book Has Never Been So Easy.

In regards to Animation – both Google dictionary definitions of the word can apply to this Flip Book function. One definition indicates that animation means a state of being full of life or vigor. The other definition indicates that it is a technique of taking pictures of successive drawings or positions of models or puppets to create an illusion of movement when the movie is showcased as a sequence.

The reason animation does so much to enhance flip book software is that movement is attractive to the eye; meaning it gets people’s attention. Still images just don’t hold people’s attention in the same way that animation does. When one considers the popularity of YouTube and similar video sites compared to sites where still images are shared, they see support for this argument. There’s no comparison to the engaging, magnetizing impact of animation or action. Movement enhances images, plain and simple.

One of the most popular aspects of the already compelling software is the Animation Editor. With FlipHTML5 Animation Editor, users are enabled to add rich media to the flip book and astonish viewers. It also allows them to display the flexibility of the media using the Time Line.

When users are equipped to embed objects, like text and video to display these effects at pre-set times, they are well on their way to providing professional level projects that don’t seem to have been created outside of a studio or without extensive training. The animation feature compares to what someone with HTML training could do a few years ago. Now, the playing field is leveled with this software.

This feature is also leagues beyond what one can get with Power Point Presentations. Learn more software features, go to http://fliphtml5.com/.
