We then used ArtCAM’s ‘Smooth’ sculpting tool on the bottom of the feather so it would blend nicely once the design was repeated across the body.Īfterwards, a vector was drawn, which would determine the direction that this feather would flow along the body using the ‘Texture Flow’ tool.
This tool allows the designer to specify a shape, as well as its height, angle and how this interacts with the rest of the relief. To create the feathers, a small feather outline was drawn and using the ‘Shape Editor’ height and shape were added to it.
The advantage of this is that these pieces of ‘Relief Clipart’ can be saved in a high resolution and then scaled down for other design projects. It can also be expanded to include a designer’s own pieces. This library has over 500 pieces of free ‘Relief Clipart’ that can be incorporated into customer’s designs. These were each saved in ArtCAM’s ‘Clipart Library’. Individual parts were modelled for the body, the head, the feet, the back feathers, and a feather, which was used to construct the main plumage. For the design, Delcam decided to create the peacock as a number of different 3D models which were merged with one another to create one complete relief.
There are multiple approaches to creating a design in ArtCAM so that users can find a way that suits them.
Below you can see the step-by-step approach that was taken to create the ArtCAM coin. Because of this, Delcam wanted to really showcase what could be achieved with the new software. Part of their demonstration covered the creation of a peacock coin created in their advanced artistic CADCAM software, ArtCAM Pro 2012, which has just been released.ĪrtCAM Pro includes number of vector drawing and advanced 3D modelling techniques, which make a significant leap in the way that coins are designed. Ma– Delcam Plc is an internationally recognised software development company, who recently presented at the World Money Fair in Berlin to demonstrate the latest 3D modelling capabilities available to the industry.
