      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.

          Hi Carrozza,

          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 ?

                        May I ask if you used any scale techniques, or is this just by eye?

                        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                            Thanks for your comments.

                            @stefanq : The scene has been rendered with Vray for Sketchup Trial (maybe I will buy it).
                            @mitcorb : I used basic forms (cylanders, cubes and curved lines).

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

                                If I make it look easy...It is probably easy
