SOLIDWORKS Visualize is hardware-agnostic and can utilize one or more GPUs on a single machine or across a network, which greatly improves rendering performance on CPU hardware.
Rendering with NVIDIA® graphics cards is much faster than with other CPU technologies and can help speed up your daily workflow to produce more content. This feature in itself can significantly speed up the design and engineering process.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize performs faster on all hardware, including entry-level laptops (with the new fast rendering mode).
SOLIDWORKS Visualize also leverages NVIDIA's new GPU technologies, such as NVIDIA Quadro® VCA, for linear increases in rendering speed, resulting in a more efficient and productive 3D visualization experience.

In addition to utilizing one or more GPUs or CPUs, SOLIDWORKS Visualize can use both GPUs and CPUs on a single computer or across a network, which can significantly improve rendering performance. This rendering mode allows entry-level computers to get a performance boost to generate content faster.

Using the NVIDIA Iray® rendering engine inside SOLIDWORKS Visualize, you can see a physically accurate representation of the CAD model as if the product were actually machined.
Lighting, materials and shapes come together realistically without sacrificing visual quality or taking shortcuts to increase rendering speed.
Physically-based ray tracing brings more than just beautiful images, its digital accuracy shows how a design really looks.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize allows you to work as if you were in a photography studio, moving the camera around to easily "take pictures" of its CAD data. The SOLIDWORKS Visualize user interface (UI) with integrated viewports and omitting complex node materials is designed with the needs of users who don't have the time to learn about complex new tools in mind. SOLIDWORKS Visualize's UI can be further simplified into five buttons at the bottom of the screen in easy mode. This mode is designed for users without a 3D background who need easy visualization tools. Experience new sub-tabs in the palette, simplified Import and Render windows, and more. You can now also choose between dark and light themes.

Graphic file support: SOLIDWORKS Visualize can import 25 different CAD file types, including common common formats such as IGES, STEP, and OBJ. SOLIDWORKS Visualize output includes JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, HDR, and PSD.
CAD Live Updates: Are you already working on your Visualize file and need to import some design changes? As your design evolves, you simply save on top of the existing file and Visualize will only update the parts that have changed. Visualize even remembers if you changed a color and keeps that change on newly updated parts. You can always relink the file if the name changes or the location moves.

Separate parts, surfaces and faces with the convenient integrated part divider. Easily separate geometry to apply different materials or textures. There is no need to go back to your CAD package to make this change.

Add more realism to your Visualize content with depth of field. This feature allows you to click on the model to interactively select the focal point, and then adjust the desired amount of bokeh. You can even enter physical camera settings like f-stop and aperture size.

Using artificial intelligence, just checking a box interprets and removes noise from your renders, dramatically increasing render speeds by up to 10x on average!

Existing databases of tested materials can be reused directly in Visualize by scanning real-world materials and importing them via MDL or PBR appearance types. Browse the online library of materials and textures and easily recreate them in Visualize using these new industry-standard appearance types.

Easily place logos, graphics, and more with easy-to-use stickers. SOLIDWORKS CAD supports all decal mapping types, and now you can choose from multiple mapping modes directly in Visualize, giving you more flexibility and control.

Create unique custom keyboard shortcuts to save time based on your personal preferences, then export the list to load on another machine. You can even choose single key shortcuts! Greatly speed up the use of Visualize.

If your session terminates unexpectedly, you can restore autosaved data the next time you start your session. You can specify the frequency and folder in which to save the auto-recovered data.

Easily export Visualize projects to new file formats (.glb and .glTF) for immersive downstream augmented and virtual reality experiences

The dynamic user interface is scalable to support high-resolution displays.

Use the integrated SOLIDWORKS PDM menu to access vault commands and view file information when a Visualize file is opened in SOLIDWORKS Visualize. SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional is required to be installed.

Easily bring your existing animation and motion studies to life in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional with the new Visualize add-in for SOLIDWORKS CAD. CAD live updates are also available for these animations. So when your movements and keyframes change in SOLIDWORKS CAD, they also update in Visualize.

Explain more with CAD data using the complete animation suite in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional. Easily animate exploded views, part opacity, cameras, and more to create photo-quality videos to describe the most complex projects.
This unique feature allows you to get a 3D representation of how the camera or part moves in the scene during the animation. The Animation Ribbon displays the speed at which objects move in color and displays the actual keyframes, making editing complex animations a breeze.

Create stunning Visualize content faster than ever. SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost is a new add-in product for SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional that instantly boosts rendering speed and content productivity. Similar to an in-office printer queue, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost enables SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional users to send jobs to other machines, freeing up their machines to continue using Visualize, CAD, or other necessary applications.

A new rendering mode in Visualize Professional, PowerBoost allows you to connect an NVIDIA VCA or any other GPU/CPU render farm to stream ray tracing directly into your Visualize Viewport. PowerBoost gives you direct access to more powerful hardware than your local computer, providing extremely fast rendering speeds when working on your projects.

Effortlessly create interactive web content to place on your website or spice up your internal presentations with these two attractive outputs. Turn your CAD files into reality and create an emotional connection with your target audience. Interactive Graphics brings together as many static images as needed to create an interactive experience that allows viewers to flip through your model. Panoramic output transports you into your CAD data for an interactive 360 experience

Like a professional videographer, add some "bright spots" to your Visualize content. No need to use post-processing applications to adjust exposure, brightness, color balance, contrast, and other common settings. These settings can be adjusted directly in Visualize Professional. You can also animate these camera filters!

Use the integrated render queue to stack multiple jobs and let them complete automatically while you're away for quick productivity gains. No more waiting for rendering to finish!

Use Configure to quickly generate color schemes, product variations, and other design choices. Use Visualize to demonstrate in real-time and make important design and engineering decisions by browsing Configurations. You can even render all "configurations" with just one click！

Render complex interior scenes faster than ever with new area lights (also supported in Fast mode). These area lights produce flawless shadows and render up to 8 times faster than traditional lights and Precise mode. This new update also allows you to place your lights interactively more easily. You no longer have to manually set the light sources in your scene; now you can place the light sources exactly where you want them with a single click, so you can get the perfect photo.

Leverage photorealistic effects in SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional to browse/review beautiful immersive images and animations at 1:1 scale. Easily set up cameras where you want to look around and create amazing VR content with the click of a button in Visualize, you can even view 360-degree stereo images and animations in VR! Supports any VR device, including HTC® Vive®, Oculus Rift™, Samsung® Gear VR, Google® Daydream, and Google Cardboard™.

Enable the physics engine with just a few clicks and watch items collide and fall just like in real life. After setting up the physics engine, use the Seismic tool to randomize or shake selected elements. This helps add a natural touch to stacked boards or pens in cups without having to manually move each board or pen individually, saving a lot of scene setup time.

Create beautiful photo-quality driving images and animations with accurate real-time physics for your vehicles that don't yet exist. The new Physics system supports driving the vehicle along predefined paths and steering via keyboard or connected game controller. Adjust several "car ride" settings, such as suspension, wheel friction, ride height, and more, all calculated in real-time. Vehicle driving information can then be recorded with a single click to create lifelike driving images.

Import video or image sequences directly into Visualize to create realistic animations of products with LED screens (ie: laptops, car navigation screens, airline headsets). Bring your animations to life with the camera panning across the product or by playing an on-screen exploded animation of the video sequence.
Industry standard IES lighting profiles are supported to define precise lighting arrays for wall light sources.

Stack multiple jobs in your render queue and offload your local machine. Visualize Boost supports all outputs from SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional. Harness the CPU and GPU in your network for unprecedented job rendering speed.
