SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional

(SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard Capabilities Included)

Hardware agnostic (PowerBoost Mode)

PowerBoost (available only with SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional) provides a render mode that streams ray tracing directly to your Visualize Viewport. An Internet connection is required, and a multi-GPU machine for a Visualize Boost computer or an NVIDIA Quadro VCA is recommended for the best performance.

 

Rasterized baked lighting

In real time raster mode, objects can still be seen with high quality lighting baked into the raster objects.

 

Render all Configurations & Cameras

Rapidly generate colourways, product variations, and other design choices using Configurations. Present in real time using Visualize and make important design and engineering decisions by flipping through your Configurations. You can even render all Configurations in a single click.

 

Browser based Interactive Image & Panoramic Output

Easily create interactive web content to drop into your website or spice up your internal presentations with these two eye-catching outputs. Make your CAD files come to life and create an emotional connection with your target audience. The Interactive Image stitches the desired number of still images together to create an interactive experience of tumbling your model. Panoramic outputs teleport you inside your CAD data for and interactive 360 experiences.

 

Animation of models, parts, assemblies, groups, etc

Tell a deeper story with your CAD data using the full Animation suite in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional. Animate exploded views, part opacity, cameras, and much more with ease to create photo-quality videos to describe even the most complex projects.

 

Walk-around camera mode

Control the position of your camera by enabling the option to walk around your scene.

 

Customizable Photographic Camera Filters

Act like a professional photographer and add some “pop” to your Visualize content. No need to use post-production applications to adjust the exposure, brightness, color balance, contrast, and other frequently used settings. All this can be achieved directly inside Visualize Professional. You can also animate these camera filters!

 

Support for advanced Appearance Types

Reuse your existing database of measured materials directly within Visualize, by scanning real-world materials and import them via MDL or PBR Appearance Types. Explore online libraries of materials and textures and easily re-create them in Visualize using these new industry-standard Appearance Types.

 

Formation Tool

Easily create patterns to orient multiple instances of your models in the Visualize scene. Formations such as Line, Vee, and Circular help to create model patterns without any guess work.

 

Integrated Physics Engine and Vehicle Driving Simulator

Enable Physics with a few simple clicks and watch your items collide and fall, just like they would in real life. After Physics is set up, use the Earthquake tool to randomize or jitter the selected elements. This helps to add a natural touch to stacked plates, or pens in a cup, without having to manually move each one individually, saving loads of scene set up time.

 

Video Decals

Import videos or image sequences directly into Visualize, creating vivid animations of products with LED screens (ie: laptop, car navigation screen, airline headset). Spice up your animations as the camera is panning across your product or throughout an exploded animation with a video sequence playing on the screen.
