SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard
Which better helps describe a concept? A technical drawing or a computer-generated image that looks identical to a photograph? To make the right design and engineering decisions, photo-quality content has become the new benchmark.
SOLIDWORKS® Visualize Standard enables designers, engineers, and content creators across all industries to create compelling visual content of their designs with unparalleled ease and flexibility. By utilizing photo-quality content early in the design process, more informed design decisions can be made, as well as receiving useful early feedback from sales teams and potential customers
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Denoiser to instant 10x faster rendering
Employing the latest machine learning technology and Artificial Intelligence, SOLIDWORKS Visualize can produce renders up to 10 times faster.
Hardware agnostic (Accurate, Fast, Power Mode)
Realtime rendering using NVIDIA iray technology. With different modes for path tracing (Accurate), raytracing (Fast), and Rasterization (Preview), there are multiple ways to get your renderings done quickly, with real-time photo quality.
Unlimited resolution offline rendering
Create your images using any resolution settings, while you continue working on other tasks. Your render jobs can be finished in the background so that you stay productive.
JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, HDR and PSD output
SOLIDWORKS Visualize imports over 25 different CAD file types, including common generic formats such as IGES, STEP, and OBJ. SOLIDWORKS Visualize outputs include JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, HDR, and PSD.
Mapping SOLIDWORKS Camera Navigation
Users familiar with SOLIDWORKS CAD camera navigation can use it instead of the standard SOLIDWORKS Visualize camera navigation radiate full HDR light.
Interactive Depth of Field
Add that extra touch of photorealism to your Visualize content with Depth of Field. This feature allows you to interactively select the point of focus by simply clicking on your model, and then adjust the amount of desired blur. You can even enter physical camera settings like F-Stop and Aperture.
Hybrid Based CPU and GPU rendering
In addition to leveraging one or many GPUs or CPUs, SOLIDWORKS Visualize can leverage both GPU and CPU simultaneously (Hybrid mode) in a single machine or across a network, which dramatically increases rendering performance. This render mode allows entry-level machines to have increased performance to generate content faster.
Automatic Data recovery
If your session terminates unexpectedly, you can recover automatically saved data the next time you start a session. You can specify the frequency and folder for saving auto-recovery data.
CAD Live-Update
Already been working on your Visualize file and need to import some design changes? As your design evolves, simply save over the existing file and Visualize will update only the parts that have been changed. Visualize will even remember if you changed the color and keep that change on the newly updated part. You can always re-link the file if the name changes or the location moves.
Decals (digital stickers) and full mapping/positioning support
Easily place logos, graphics and more with simple and intuitive to use Decals. All Decal Mapping types are supported from SOLIDWORKS CAD and now you can choose from multiple mapping modes directly within Visualize, giving you even more flexibility and control.
