PhotoView360 offers a host of professional features to help you convey reality

Relevant Materials - PhotoView360 offers the most complete set of Machine and Consumer Product Design materials of any CAD package in the industry. PhotoView360 is reads SolidWorks files natively 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 Appearances Pane either in PhotoView360 or in SolidWorks. Texture based materials can be dynamically scaled, rotated and repositioned in the SolidWorks window for quick and easy application, then rendered in PhotoView360.

Pre-Defined HDRI Scenes - PhotoView360 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 lights making it very simple and easy to quickly achieve photo-realism.

Depth of Field, Perspective and Bloom - PhotoView360 allows you to specify focal length, focal position and f stop distances with ease. Bloom effects can also be added for a truly photo-realistic look.
