Solidworks Real Part Rendering Software

Hi all

I am launching my business in  March. The activity consists of the creation, design and manufacture of designer stone sinks. I design my product through Solidworks.

It's true that it's possible with this one to apply a texture, but I find that it's quite "pixelated", and that it doesn't really look real... In order to easily sell my product, I will need to render it almost real, but on 3D software.

Different textures can be applied (wood, stone... etc).

Do you know a software that can rework the 3D rendering? If possible, cheap.

Or even, do you know "trades", being specialized in 3D retouching in order to obtain a rendering as best as possible, with efficiency? Because I don't have time to learn the software for 1 month, to release 2 or 3 real photos if you know what I mean.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Guillaume.

Hello

SolidWorks integrates the Photoview 360 add-on into its Professional and Premium versions.

Then Dassault developed SolidWorks Visualize. Which is more efficient and multi CAD. You can have access to the basic version with a Prenium license. See here.

Then you also have Keyshot.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

Can we integrate the textures we want?  Because for the moment when integrating a stone appearance from an image, the final rendering is not always nice

Yes. There are libraries and then you can create your textures from images.

Hi guillaume

if you find that it's too pixelated

it may be a basic image problem

show us if possible what it looks like

Here are some links

Hello Guillaume,

Take a look at this site:

http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/asset/materials/?mode=Category&id=71

It is possible to download textures for free with your SOLIDWORKS account. The renderings are really impressive.

Ok thank you.

I've taken a look at all of this, Photo View already looks really good to me. Just a question, is Photo View present on the educational version? Because for the moment I still have the student version, and I'd like to know if it's the equivalent, or really more advanced.

 

As for Keyshot, it's not bad at all too. But according to you, it is best. According to my information Keyshot it's 400 € the purchase of the software, right?

And the pro version of Solid is 7500 €. Is the price really worth the difference?

In the standard version we can't make any rendering?

Apparently, SW Education includes SW Prenium so Photoview.

To test, all you have to do is activate it in the add-ins and read the dedicated help.

Do we agree that photo view is not present here?

That's what I thought ^^.

Now I have to make my choice, be photoview, be Keyshot. What's best for you?

Is it possible to apply photo view to several thousand files with the solidworks "integration" tool?

See how to download this Log Blender

Integration is not intended to apply photoview on batches of files to my knowledge, For everything that is basic in sw no worries, but not for the Photoview complement, simulation, which requires human manipulation anyway (position of the view, lighting, shadow...)

Otherwise here is an explanation link to visualize:

Bonjonr,

You can download super realistic renderings from this site:
