Prerequisite: Lesson 3
1. Watch the videos
Dassault Systèmes videos hosted on MySolidWorks: they open in a new tab and a free account is enough. Watch them in order.
Video 1▶Image and Video Output OptionsOutput types and the settings that matter for a photographic result.↗
Video 2▶ConfigurationsCompare several design options (appearances, cameras, scenes) in a single project.↗
Video 3▶Render Queue OverviewStack renders to run them later, for example overnight.↗
Video 4▶Rendering with Text PromptsSet resolution and output options in plain language with the Visualize assistant.↗
2. Key takeaways
Set quality by number of passes or by time: for tests, limit the time; for the final, let the denoiser finish the job.
Configurations store variants (colors, finishes, cameras): one project for a whole product range.
The render queue is part of Visualize Professional: prepare images during the day, they render overnight.
Text prompt settings speed up preparation; still check resolution and format before you launch.
Tip
For a product range, create one configuration per color, then send them all to the render queue with the same camera: the series stays consistent.
3. Do the exercise
Prepare a series of variants:
- create three color configurations
- send the three renders to the queue with the same camera
- compare the resulting images
