This was modeled in Solidworks, imported into 3D Studio Max and rendered with the V-Ray rendering engine. What makes this unique is that I rendered different parts of the assembly and then used photoshop to "Layer" them on top of each other with different levels of transparency. Using this method I can bring out the details in any specific location or even "brush" more transparency over individual features to show underlying details. Very effective for marketing or for use in manuals.
