PhotoWorks offers a host of professional features to help you convey reality

Relevant Materials - PhotoWorks offers the most complete set of Machine and Consumer Product Design materials of any CAD package in the industry. PhotoWorks is completely integrated into SolidWorks so there is no translation necessary between modeling and rendering. Materials include polished, satin, brushed and sandblasted metals, Gloss white and Moldtech like textured plastics, Reflective, translucent, and bead-blasted glass just to name a few. All of these materials are ready to use and have been optimized for maximum realism without the need to tweak them.

Drag and Drop - All materials are drag and drop from the Resource Pane. Texture based materials can be dynamically scaled, rotated and repositioned in the SolidWorks window for quick and easy application. All PhotoWorks materials can be modified and saved by the user to create customized materials.

Pre-Defined HDRI Scenes - PhotoWorks includes a number of pre-defined scenes that are based on HDR (high dynamic range) images. These types of scenes contribute very realistic lighting to your SolidWorks models and forego the need to create and adjust SolidWorks lights making it very simple and easy to quickly achieve photo-realism.
