Speaker 1: In this short video
the covenants top enhancements
in the 2021 release of
SOLIDWORKS Visualize. We'll
start off with visualize
standard which included both
your SOLIDWORKS Professional and
SOLIDWORKS Premium
subscriptions.
Just like in detail drawings
Section veiws are a perfect way
to illustrate hidden features in
design. Visualize has supported
section veiws the past but new
to visualize 2021 is the ability
to our capping to these section
cuts. Modifying the capping
color to create some visually
appealing outfits. For those who
like to delve further into their
models applied part specific
appearances.
There's a new an exception
useful method of selecting
applied appearances with the
part selection option a single
click still selects the path.
However a double click noe goes
straight to the appearance
applied to that part within the
appearance tab able to make
necessary changes.
We've had the ability to create
the appearance of depth when
textures since visualized was
released.
We now have had this ability
enhanced, able to physically
displace textures based upon a
black and white bump map. Take
this complex appearance and
sphere the sphere itself is flat
the black white images used to
add displacement.
This method can be used to add
realism for details otherwise
too complicated or time
consuming to model in your
geometry.
Visualize as the main tool used
in the XR pipeline.
Exporting your files as uniform
standard XR file types GLB and
GLTF with XR are becoming more
mobile.
We now support the Export Draco
and compressed XR Files
dramatically reducing the file
size requirements allowing to
create more interactive
experiences for those in on the
go. Important configurations
are now fully supported in
Visualize professional simply
choose to add display data marks
to the configurations where you
wish to export and SOLIDWORKS
and these configurations will
appear in visualizes model tree.
This method allows you to work
independently on different
configurations ensuring that
have the same camera angles
lighting and backgrounds to
ensure continuity.
There are times when a
photorealistic image is not the
right visual language
communicated concept.
We now have a new camera filter
and the Geordies favorite toon
rendering. This is perfect for
creating artistic conceptual
look to your designs. There are
several preset options to choose
from.
The ability to modify shading
styles and line colors for your
unique effect. Rendering layers
are a great technique for
exporting individual aspects of
an image especially in
post-processing with Adobe
Photoshop or similar photo
editing software.
These layers can now be accessed
directly with the viewport, with
a render workflow dramatically
streamlined, rather exporting
out all these layers
individually it will request
layers now producing a single
rendering output saving you
time. When creating animations
it can be easy to forget and
animations for certain items
especially doing repetitive
tasks.
Now it can drag and drop an
animation from the timeline
directly to the model.
These will apply to the
animation to a correct part or
group making animating even
easier.
Video decals can be added to
represent content on screens.
However managing multiple video
decals can cause difficulties
with distinction between them.
Now in 2021 you have a dynamic
playback of decals directly in
the library.
to easily identify the correct
one to use.
We hope that you enjoy this
video many enhancements
SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2021 and
put the new features into
practice of the very next design
project.
