Car Shock Absorber
- 
Good day everybody,
Here's a render just for fun. I was learning how to build springs, and I finally did a shock absorber.
The modeling is not perfect, but I like the result (anyway I have to improve it).

Hi Luis, I would be very interested to know how you did model the spring!
Great rendering, by the way; V-Ray is the best. -

Modelling a spring is not difficult.
I simply found the solution on Google SketchUp Warehouse. There is a lot on good stuff there.The link : http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=3277705e558ca6dcd0341d9d8a035ecc

Thanks a lot for pointing me to Google Warehouse: it deserves a better exploration.

You show the easiest manual method to do this, but you could use the Helix and the PipeAlongPath [or TubeAlongPath] Rubies to make it even more easily ?
 - 
Thank you TIG, I will try these scripts.
ely862me : nice and faster way to do it !

Thanks.

Your Shock Absorber looks very good nice render as well, i also use the helix and tube along path rubies very easy and accurate well done

 - 
Thank you dolphus for your reply. I will try these scripts tonight.
 - 
May I ask if you used any scale techniques, or is this just by eye?
 - 
Magnífico! What render engine did you used , Luis?

Its so beautiful, it's a shame that it ends up on the bottom of some car. It needs to be out there!
