Welding-robot product film
A maker of welding robots wanted a short film of their robot. I made it in Blender from their own engineering CAD, so every part on screen is the real part.
21 s
film, 1080p at 30 frames a second
6
parts from the maker's CAD, jointed to move like the real arm
2
finished versions: white studio and dark
One view, from lines to the final render
From CAD to film
The maker's STEP file was turned into meshes part by part, then given its finishes: orange enamel, graphite joints, machined metal. It is lit as a white studio and rendered in Cycles.
The weld
The arm swings into place over a wheel rim, the arc lights, and sparks come off the weld.
For the website
Besides the film, I rendered transparent stills of the robot in several poses, so the maker's website can move it as you scroll.
