Quote - So I am very curious Erik, how big are we talking?

Well, to give you an idea I can tell you what's inside Lux' resources folders:

Protector objects folder (.ply files) total amount 138 MB,

Crystal decanter and two glasses objects folder (.ply files) 19.8 MB,

Two pairs of pliers objects folder (.ply files) 18.3 MB.

According to MeshLab the decanter model (alone) has 142,433 vertices and 284,862 faces.

STL export from Inventor can be done in one of three default quality settings: High, Medium, and Low, but you can also fine-tune it to your needs. I didn't touch those settings yet, so far I've only applied the High Quality default setting.

Here's another I'm working on.

Getting the model to this stage, including all measurements using a caliper, took me about seven to eight hours (at a leasurely pace). All dimensions are true to the original within about half a millimeter or so.

 

 

Cheers!
