For a comprehensive look at these new features, check out our detailed video overview below.
Enhanced Appearance Model: DSPBR
The cornerstone of SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional 2024 is the introduction of the DSPBR (Dynamic Super Physically Based Rendering) appearance format. This all-new format offers unprecedented power, flexibility, and accessibility in managing appearance properties. Designed to align with industry standards, DSPBR simplifies the process of creating and communicating appearance data across different Dassault Systèmes products.
Manipulator Enhancements
In this update, the manipulator tool undergoes substantial improvements. The design has been consolidated for a cleaner, more intuitive user experience. Enhanced interactions highlight each control, making it easier to understand and use effectively. Additionally, the integration of keyboard shortcuts such as
G for Translate, R for Rotate, and E for Scale accelerates workflow efficiency, allowing precise adjustments with minimal effort.
Interface Updates and Enhanced Wizards
User interface enhancements include updated wizards that provide greater clarity and ease-of-use. These improvements streamline the rendering workflow by simplifying complex tasks such as setting up scenes, configuring outputs, and selecting environmental settings. The revamped wizards ensure a more intuitive navigation experience, reducing the learning curve and enhancing productivity.
Efficient Manipulation with Keyboard Shortcuts
Alongside redesigned manipulators, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional 2024 integrates keyboard shortcuts for seamless manipulation:
- G – Translate Selection
- R – Rotate Selection
- E – Scale Selection (uniformly)
- G/R/E then X, Y, or Z – Locks direction, rotation, or scale to specific axes
- G/R/E then SHIFT+X, SHIFT+Y, SHIFT+Z – Locks direction, rotation, or scale to plane axes
- Double-tap X, Y, or Z to switch between global and local axes for precise adjustments.
These shortcuts enhance workflow efficiency, enabling precise adjustments directly within SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional 2024’s interface.
Sun and Sky Improvements
Visualize Professional 2024 introduces advanced enhancements to the sunlight environment system. Users now have the ability to simulate real-world lighting conditions with precision. Features include setting physical locations, adjusting compass directions, and specifying the time of day. These enhancements provide unprecedented control over environmental settings, resulting in more realistic and visually appealing renderings.
Conclusion
In conclusion, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional 2024 represents a significant leap forward in rendering capabilities. With updates to appearance models, manipulator tools, interface clarity, and environmental simulations, users can achieve high-quality, photorealistic renderings more efficiently than ever before. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to rendering, these enhancements empower you to create compelling visualizations that showcase your designs effectively.
