Jason Pohl | Creating a Custom Monster Truck

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share with you a project I worked on earlier in the year. I had an absolute blast working with @SO on this toy Monster Truck!

Since its SANDBOX season I thought it was a good time to share our workflow and collaboration.  What better way than a new toy to rule over the sandbox?!

This video also sheds more light on my creation process from start to finish.  Normally, I like to start projects off with a concept sketch, artboard, and a design study.  However, for this project I just jumped right into 3D modeling inside 3D Sculptor xShape (greatest software ever created).  I can now sculpt so fast that it is often my first choice to conceptualize new designs.

I used 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for MAKERS for the entire process.  When asked why I decided to create a custom monster truck toy the answer is clear… it is yet another attempt to impress my kids!

Software used to design/render (all w/ 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers)

  • 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Professional
  • 🐊3D Sculptor
  • 📷SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected

If you are interested in a deeper dive into my modeling process, you can check out this episode of SOLIDWORKS LIVE where I was a guest with Sean O’Neill 

As always I would love to hear what you think of this design and what other items you would like to see created!!! (hopefully using xShape) 😎
