- Accurate Environment Lighting
You can apply accurate environment lighting to clean up excessive noise in renderings.
- Creating Graphics-only Section Views
You can quickly generate a section view by generating a graphics-only section view.
- Exporting SolidWorks Models to *.lxo Files
You can export SolidWorks models, including models with motion studies, to *.lxo files. You can then import the *.lxo files into MODO®, the rendering product created by Luxology LLC.
- Flattened Floors in Scenes
You can flatten the floor of a spherical environment in scenes to improve the look of models that naturally rest on the ground or flat floors, particularly when performing view manipulations such as rotate or zoom.
- Performance Improvements to Rendered Animations
PhotoView 360 saves rendered animations to *.lxo files which contain all the data: the appearances, scenes, model geometry, and motion study definitions needed to process rendered animations. Internal conversion to *.lxo files dramatically reduces the time required to process a rendered animation.
- Selecting Bodies or Components for Section Views
You can select bodies or components to include in or exclude from section views.
- Solar Access Studies
With SolidWorks Professional, you can apply sunlight to SolidWorks models. Using solar access studies, you can simulate the movement of the sun as it passes over models of buildings, solar panels, and outdoor equipment.
