Solidworks training offers powerful tools for creating photorealistic renderings of your 3D models. You can bring your designs to life for design reviews, marketing materials, or presentations. Here's how to get started:
SOLIDWORKS Visualize: This is a standalone rendering software that comes with SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium. It's designed to create high-quality images, animations, and interactive content from your CAD data.
- SOLIDWORKS Visualize allows you to leverage your 3D CAD data to create photo-quality content in the fastest and easiest way you can–from images to animations, interactive web content, and immersive Virtual Reality.
- SOLIDWORKS Visualize is hardware-agnostic and can leverage one or many GPUs in a single machine or across a network, which dramatically increases rendering performance over CPU hardware.
- PhotoView 360: This is an add-in to SOLIDWORKS that provides rendering capabilities within the CAD environment. It's suitable for generating realistic images for design evaluation and presentations.
- 3D Render: An easy-to-use, browser-based solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, enabling creators, designers and CGI artists to generate renderings for visually captivating marketing materials or design reviews.
Key Tools and Features
- Materials and Appearances: Apply realistic materials and textures to your models. SolidWorks Visualize offers a wide range of pre-defined appearances, and you can also create custom ones.
- Lighting: Control the lighting in your scene to achieve the desired effect. You can use HDR environments, physical lights (area, directional, spot, and IES profiles), and emissive appearances.
- Cameras: Set up cameras to define the viewpoint and composition of your renderings. Features like depth of field and motion blur can add realism.
- Scenes: Choose from various scenes or create your own to provide context for your product.
- Render Queue: Queue up multiple rendering jobs to process in sequence, saving you time.
- Visualize Boost: Offload rendering to other machines on your network to free up your primary workstation.
- AI Denoiser: Reduces the number of passes needed by a factor of 10. This tool allows Visualize to anticipate and therefore eliminate all noise in your images without compromising quality.
