+What is Pro/CONCEPT?
The primary function for Pro/CONCEPT is for proving shape and form then
rendering that form. This polygon model is very easy to generate. This
new concept sketching and modeling tool is from PTC . Whether the product
is large or small, Pro|CONCEPT's integrated painting and modeling tools
allow the designer to develop and iterate multiple ideas quickly and easily.
+Rendering From Pro/ENGINEER
The Pro/CONCEPT Rendering engine is much more advanced than that of the
Photolux effort in the PTC package. Learn the intricacies of procedural
rendering like that of Alias or Maya with this unique tool.
+Proving Form
Industrial designers use either a pencil or the pencil or pen tools in
Pro/CONCEPT to first dictate concepts. Designers start with curves by
tracing directly over a scanned-in image or sketch. Users can then drop
down a Soap which is simply a polygon clay form that can be manipulated
using a variety of NURBS like tools. This new type of polygon modeling
takes advantage of smooth refine and decimate functions.
Curves and surfaces can then be built to slice and sculpt away portions
of the soap. To hone the shape further there are a multitude of tools
available to mature that shape and form such as sculpt and blend tools.
One can modify those early curves of the model by pushing or pulling then
watch connected surfaces update in a robust fashion.
