Q: SW Visualize is built on the Iray rendering engine. In addition, SOLIDWORKS Visualize doesn’t tie-up a SOLIDWORKS license, allowing the photorealistic visualization to be completed by someone else within the organization, providing a seamless dynamic design workflow and collaborative environment. Because results are indistinguishable from photos, they can be used directly for marketing or other areas where physical prototypes don’t exist or add too much cost. SOLIDWORKS Visualize picks up where PhotoView 360 leaves off, by introducing an environment that is more similar to photography, versus technical rendering, with a focus on 3D data. Users can create CAD models and remain within SOLIDWORKS for basic visualization, providing immediate feedback on rough reflections, surface changes, etc, to evaluate the form and make rapid surface adjustments. The direct link and bi-directional updates optimize rendering of work that is still in progress. PhotoView 360 is best for designs that are continuously undergoing changes. Can you tell us how SW Visualize differs from the integrated rendering/animation products SW currently uses or has used in the past (PhotoWorks, PhotoView 360)?Ī: SOLIDWORKS Visualize is not a replacement for PhotoView 360, but a complementary tool that delivers more of what the SOLIDWORKS community has been asking for in visualization. Q: SW Visualize is the first dedicated stand alone photorealistc rendering/animation product to be offered by DS. Our goal is to enable designers, creative, engineers & content creators to have an enhanced 3D decision making experience a Fast, Easy & Fun way. We want to be the Photoshop of 3D, making this powerful photo-quality visualization technology easy to use and available for anyone. Q: What is the goal of the SW Visualize product?Ī: The mission statement for SW Visualize is simple: democratize Visualization. Therefore, the move under the SOLIDWORKS family of products was a strategic alignment and will help build us meaningful visualization experiences for SOLIDWORKS users and non-SW users alike, even those who have no 3D experience! Growing from our success in that space, we moved to product design, architecture, medical, aerospace and any other industry that uses CAD to design their solutions. We started back in 2000 as a small startup servicing the automotive industry, with technological breakthroughs that really changed how 3D visualization was used throughout the design process. We had around 7,500 users worldwide and catered to many of the same target markets that SOLIDWORKS targets. Can you give a history of the product before the name change to SW Visualize?Ī: Before joining the SOLIDWORKS brand, the name of the product was called Bunkspeed. Q: SW Visualize is a new product in name only. Q: What is your name/title and role with the SW Visualize product?Ī: Brian Hillner, Product Manager SOLIDWORKS Visualize. The seconds part of the interview are questions submitted by SOLIDWORKS users on Twitter. The first part of the interview are questions I developed and asked Brian. I was able to catch up with Brian Hillner of Dassault Systems and ask him some questions about about SOLIDWORKS Visualize. If you own SOLIDWORKS Professional or Premium and are on active subscription you will be receiving an e-mail soon (you may have received it already) letting you know your eligible for SOLIDWORKS Visualize and how to download the product. SOLIDWORKS Visualize has been in beta for the last few months and now its available to everyone. Monday morning at the SOLIDWORKS World general session SOLIDWORKS announced the availability of SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
