In this blog I am going to go through the process of setting up the quickest and easiest Visualize Standard render for your parts or assemblies. SOLIDWORKS Visualize is a standalone application that renders images of many different CAD file types (not just SOLIDWORKS Files). If you have SOLIDWORKS Professional or Premium and are on active subscription, then you already have access to an awesome tool to produce beautiful images of your products and designs. Have you ever had the inclination to show off your products? How early can that be done? After a prototype or after production? Do you need to hire a photographer or set up your own photo booth? Well, what if you had the option to create photo-realistic renderings at any time during the design phase? You could be communicating designs to customers or investors, getting images for product catalogs or even validating the aesthetics of your design.
