Your videos are amazing! Because of your lessons I was able to start with solidworks. I recently tried to put some solidworks models to Adobe Substance paiter, to make them look really good (like small scrathes, good loking materials and etc). And it was a waste of time, the process was difficuls (save solidworks as STL file than place it into MeshLab and save it as OBJ file and then place this OBJ file to Substance Painter. The big issue is - when solidworks model is complex enough (like a barbell clip) , substance painter just does not open it! you wait 30 minutes, and it slill does not open the OBJ file. Maybe you know a really great way how to make solidworks models look completelly real and good, it would be a great tutorial. God Bless you
Hi Alex, thanks for the kind words. I think you may find Visualize is a good tool if you were to watch some advanced videos from other sources. I used to be pretty decent using the old/ now removed SolidWorks-PhotoWorks and 360 add-ins. I've only recently started experimenting with Visualize. I understand it's supposed to be superior to the old PhotoWorks and 360 because it actually uses the GPU and CPU versus just the CPU speeding up rendering times, but I'm not just not very good at it yet. Admittedly I miss the old integrated rendering solutions, but things change and we all have to adapt sometime. Kind regards CS
I'm still using, and am addicted to PhotoView 360. 😁I really like it, but I know I have to move with the times, and at some point I'll have to start using Visualize. How much of a change is it, moving on from PhotoView 360? Is there plenty of new stuff to learn?
Yes... I've gotten so good tweaking my workflow in PV360, sometimes rivaling my Blender renders. Too bad Dassault opted to buy Bunkspeed instead of building a truly integrated 3D rendering tool from scratch.
Solidworks Visualize is a nice tool, but it is still so much weaker than Substance Painter. Maybe I am wrong and it is possible to make nice visual presentations of your model in Visualize. For me, realview graphics mode in Solidworks gives very similar results to visualize. It would be great to make solidworks part to look completelly real

I am very sad with this feature. more time consuming
