Where can I get some of that SolidWorks paint job?

Are those sharks with lasers on their heads?

No, Dr. Evil, but it is almost as cool: a wacked paint job on your new Model A lair. Sure beats ill tempered sea bass.

Wow, that’s a wild effect on the paint job. This is just RealView. No rendering involved.

Here’s how to get this two-tone effect:

     First, select a Painted Car appearance from the list.

Then select one of the appearances from the list, and Alt-drag it onto the part. The Alt-drag tip was in the Alternate Reality post a couple of days ago.

Alt-dragging the appearance activates the edit of the appearance immediately.

Notice that these car paint colors come with two color options. Assigning a contrasting color allows you to get some really wild color effects. My favorite color is royal purple. No, I’m not gay. Anyway, the red and purple combination looks really cool, but you can get a lot of cool color combinations like red and white, or orange and yellow. It’s interesting to see how they established some of the default colors.  This is something you might have to play around with a little bit.

Unfortunately, the color funk doesn’t translate into Photoview 360.

Anybody have any cool screen captures you wanna share?
