You can tweak the Gamma and Brightness to get just the right appearance you need.Īdjusting the Camera Settings in PhotoView 360 This gives the renderings a “deeper color” saturation. I change the Gamma from 1.6 (default) to 1.4. The final change I make in the Output settings is for Image Processing. I haven’t seen a big difference between Better, Best and Max apart from the time it takes to complete the Rendering. For the Final Render Quality, I tend to use Best or Max. I don’t see too much of a difference when it’s set to Best (or Max) and it takes longer for the preview to resolve after you rotate the model. I have the Preview Quality set to “Better”. I like to have larger final render images, so I set it higher. If you right-click the work area it allows you to select a number of different default size images. I adjusted the default Image Output Resolution to fill the entire screen, in this case 1000 x 600. Third, determine what you want to promote in the rendering (as with the shameless promotion of the vehicles we manufacture in the example I’m sharing.) Second, make sure the view and perspective work with how you want to position the model. First, determine the quality and size of images that are available. However, when choosing an image there are a few factors to consider. For my rendering, the first thoughts was to go with an aircraft seating/table arrangement. You can also apply an image as a background. Applying Background Images in PhotoView 360 To apply an Environment it’s easy as selecting and holding the left mouse button over one of the options, then dragging it onto the background. It’s mostly personal preference and I find you can also get a benefit with the mirrored reflection, especially if you have a downward facing object you would like to display. I tend to use “Overhead Spot Reflect” or “All White Studio Reflect” in my renderings. The Part or Assembly opens in PhotoView 360 with the same view and features as you last saved to the model in SolidWorks.Īs I have applied the textures in SolidWorks, I skip the Appearance and go straight to Environments – shown open in the image above by clicking the “Environments” button. Select Open File and navigate to where you have saved the SolidWorks file. Opening the Part or Assembly in PhotoView 360 is as straight forward as any Program.

I have found applying materials to the SolidWorks Model to be the simplest way to go straight on to render and environmental settings after opening the model in PhotoView 360. For the stand I used Plastic Medium Gloss on the base and iPad attachment, Satin Aluminium for the arm and vacuum leveler, and Glass for the seal (as I wanted a translucent colored polyurethane look).

Regardless of your thoughts on Mac products, their marketing in the use of their logo stands out, so I wanted to keep that.Īfter creating the concept for an iPad stand, I applied the material to the parts in SolidWorks. The first was time and the second was displaying the Apple logo. I used two criteria to dictate what the stand should look like. I had plenty of ideas of what the stand should do and how it should look. I made my first couple of attempts at rendering and a few days later I discovered I could get better results with a few simple changes to the Settings.

I managed to find a little time earlier this month to finally have a look at what PhotoView 360 was all about and soon found out how simple it can be. It’s one of those parts of SolidWorks which I knew could be a benefit to the presentation of our vehicles, but more of that later. I’ve been keen to try PhotoView 360 every since we upgraded to SolidWorks 2010.
