Side note: where do people get their high-res, beautiful STEP models for renders? I use componentsearchengine but it's rare they have decent models for anything other than the primitive components.


I use what I can find on step files. Grabcad sometimes or directly from the component maker.

The render on my page is however a bit more work. I graft textures over the parts and set material properties such as reflections. I will do a write up on it when I get a chance.


Okay so you're doing some extra stuff in Blender? Makes sense! Appreciate the response, it's beautiful work :)


Manufacturer provided models, 3dcontentcentral and grabcad for me. In that sequence. Altiums built-in step model generator is also quite decent.

Snapeda and componentsearchengine are also getting better.
