Would you buy a product online that looks a bit too fake? 👽 Yeah, didn’t think so… So why would your customers? 🤔 We’ve all seen those adverts where a product has been poorly photoshopped into it - and there’s consistent themes across them. Using outdated models, the wrong lighting angles, and unrealistic textures are just a few! So we’ve pulled together a blog and video with few tips that you can use to avoid these ‘fake’ adverts and actually represent your products and models realistically with SOLIDWORKS Visualize. Here are the highlights: 👌 #1 - You don’t need to be perfect. Discover how adding small imperfections and manufacturing marks can elevate the realism of your models. 🌿 #2 - Look at natural & real textures. Learn how to utilize DSPBR appearances to imitate the real textures around you and avoid repetitive textures for a natural look. 💡 #3 - Don’t underestimate lighting. Understand the importance of HDRI and physical lights to set the perfect mood and enhance the key details in your renders. 🔗Check out the full blog post and watch the video over here: https://bit.ly/4cGQ5sw So whether you’re developing marketing materials or online catalogues, are a seasoned professional or just getting started, achieving photorealism can be a game-changer for your projects. 🌟 #SOLIDWORKS | #Rendering | #SOLIDWORKSvisualize | #CAD | #ProductDesignTips
