Using PICZA
(Some Examples of Actual Use)
This section presents some actual examples of how PICZA can be put to use.
Creating elements for 3D computer graphics software
Dr. PICZA offers a function for exporting files in three-dimensional DXF format (AutoCAD
®
Release 12 format). This section explains
how to use a commercially available 3D computer-graphics software application that can import DXF-format files to create your own
original illustrations. (This product does not include 3D computer-graphics software, which must be obtained from another source.)
Visualize in detail the design illustration you wish to create. In this
example, we'll make the illustration shown below.
2
Create the elements that make up the
illustration. In this example, we'll use
the clay included with the product to
make the face, and the graphics
software to make the other element
(the pyramid).
3
Scan the clay face and export the data
in DXF format.
4
Launch the 3D graphics application
and import the DXF file. Make the
pyramid and arrange the face and the
pyramid using the layout shown below.
Use the 3D graphics software to color the illustration, then
print it out.
