In seiner neuesten Version setzt SOLIDWORKS 2024 auf effizienteste Computergrafik-Technologien zur Erzeugung optimierter und realitätsnaher Renderings. Durch die Entwicklung des CPU (Prozessor)-basierten PhotoView 360 hin zur Nutzung des leistungsstarken Grafikprozessors (GPU) mit SOLIDWORKS Visualize liefert die Software nun in beeindruckender Geschwindigkeit fotorealistische Abbildungen des konstruierten 3D-Modells. Das Beste daran, als Wartungskunde mit SOLIDWORKS Professional oder Premium
For this SOLIDWORKS tutorial I designed this wooden toy clock, if you want to follow along, the assembly for this tutorial is available to download here. You can watch the result of the animation from the beginning through the end of this tutorial. I began my assembly by lifting all of the number blocks out of the clock by 100mm, ready to create an exploded view. With this I selected each shape starting with number 1, and drag them down with the arrow to select the Y-axis for the move direction

For this SOLIDWORKS tutorial, I wanted to design a wooden toy that involved the use of springs. The springs would be added within a motion study and would cause the flowers to pop out of the plant pot base when pressed. To mimic this action, I used a linear motor with distances. The assembly parts for this tutorial are available to download here if you would like to follow along.
More than just still images, SOLIDWORKS Visualize has the capability to output videos of animations. Master the settings of the Animation Timeline to create animations for parts, models, cameras, appearances and more. Explore the Animation Timeline and its options. Understand how to add and manipulate keyframes in a couple different ways. Learn the Output Tools options to create videos from your Visualize animations. Available in Visualize Professional.

Included with SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional, the integrated Render Queue instantly boosts productivity by allowing you to “stack” up render jobs to be completed at a later time. Use the Render Queue to stay productive during the day, and let the renders complete overnight. Discover how easy it is to send jobs to the integrated Render Queue. Explore the simple interface of the Render Queue. Understand the difference between sending render jobs to your local machine or to a dedicated Visualize Boost machine (network rendering). Available in Visualize Professional.
Imagine the thrill of holding your 3D design in the palm of your hands or diving headfirst into a mesmerizing virtual world. Now, lets turn that imagination into reality. Brace yourselves for the thrilling news, the Extended Reality (XR) exporter is now at your fingertips in both SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2024 SP0! Get ready to elevate your design experience to unprecedented heights.
Learn how to create two types of interactive outputs, Interactive and Panoramic. Both of these render types create a set of images like an animation, but instead of stitching them into a movie, they are instead stitched together to create an interactive rendering accessible from an HTML link. Understand the important use cases for Visualize’s interactive outputs Learn how to set-up your scene for generating Interactive & Panoramic outputs. Tell a deeper story with your 3D data with interactive outputs. Available in Visualize Professional.
Create photo-quality content in a snap with the professional image and video output options available in SOLIDWORKS Visualize. Understand how each output settings can be adjusted with ease to achieve the desired photo-quality result. Explore the several output option types to create photo-quality content. Understand which options to use to achieve the desired photo-quality result. Save commonly use render settings as Render Profiles.
Tell a deeper story with your CAD data and discover how easy it is to create camera animations within SOLIDWORKS Visualize. This lesson focuses on how to create and manipulate keyframes using our unique Animation Ribbon, a 3D representation for how your camera moves throughout your scene. Create a simple camera flyby with Auto-Keyframing enabled. Adjust the speed of the animation and location of keyframes by directly manipulating the Animation Ribbon. Utilize two viewports to get as much control as possible over the final animation path. Available in Visualize Professional.
The easiest way to describe your model or design is with a 360 degree spin, describing much more than a single still image. This lesson will show you how to easily create 360 degree spins with the click of a single button, and highlights advanced features like Motion Blur to further blur the line of ‘real or rendered.’ Add a Realtime Turntable to your project and then render Turntables with a single click. Introduce one-click camera rotations for 360 degree spins around your model. Learn how to use Rotation Animations for rotating parts like wheels, propellers, gears, etc. Discover the many benefits of in-camera Motion Blur to add that extra sense of realism to your images and animations. Available in Visualize Professional.
Easily manage all the environments, lights and backplates from the Scenes Tab to light your project like a virtual photo studio. Learn how to add and adjust HDRs and position your model perfectly into a backplate. Light your CAD data simply with just a single HDR. Add and switch between multiple HDRs to find your desired lighting effect. Adjust commonly used settings for each HDR. Use a backplate to place your model into any scene.
Adding decals to a part is a good way to add logos and touchscreens to your Visualize scenes without having to incorporate them into the actual model design. They function just like digital stickers, and can be easily added to a part, moved around, and changed with appearances. Easily drag and drop to add decals to your project. Understand how to manipulate decals and the available settings. Apply appearances to decals that already exist in your scene.
Texture maps are great tools for adding extra realism to appearances. This lesson debunks the mystery of texture maps, shows how to precisely control them, and enables anyone to become a master of textures. Become comfortable with the four types of texture mapping available in Visualize: Color, Alpha, Specular, and Bump. Add texture maps and learn how to manipulate them using several texture mapping modes. Add free professional pre-textured appearances to your own Visualize projects by downloading them from the Visualize Cloud Library, integrated within the interface.

Explore the Visualize Cloud Library and add professional-grade assets to your projects. Learn the Shift-click shortcut to speed up application of Appearances.
Configurations enable you to compare several different design directions, all within a single Visualize project. This lesson examines how to easily create configurations of varying appearances, camera settings, scenes, or part visibility to establish several design directions to make choosing the final solution much easier. Create multiple configurations for varying design directions. Use the Base Configuration to make changes to all existing Configurations. Render all configurations with a single button click. Available in Visualize Professional.
