Contents Enhancing Images with the Camera Bokeh Effect (2025 SP1) The Depth of Field (DOF) Bokeh Effect, seen in photography and 3D rendering, creates blur in out-of-focus areas, giving highlights a soft and circular or polygonal shape. You can think of blurred streetlights in a night scene as an example. In traditional photography, lens aperture blades shape these highlights. Fast Mode Updates for Stellar Render Engine (2025 SP1) The latest updates to Fast mode for the Stellar render engine enhance performance, usability, and access to critical settings. Import Improvements (2025 SP1) Import improvements in SOLIDWORKS Visualize improve format loading, and give you more control over mesh refinement quality.

Support for Distributed Rendering in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected (2025 SP1) SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected supports distributed rendering through Visualize Boost. Fading the Ground Floor In SOLIDWORKS Visualize, you can fade the ground floor similar to fading parts. This makes the ground invisible while still affecting reflections and shading of nearby parts.
