New PhotoView 360 Video Tutorials
Clicking the “Gallery” icon in PhotoView 360 takes you to the SolidWorks gallery.com website. Up until now this website has been just what it’s named, a gallery of images. That changed today when a collection of PhotoView 360 video tutorials were made available. There are 7 tutorials in all. The 5 tutorials in the “general” area cover the basics and the “tips and tricks” tutorials branch out into intermediate topics. If you’re a new PhotoView 360 user this is a great place to quickly come up to speed with the software. If you’re not a person who renders their models but does use RealView to color or texture your model for a more realistic effect I recommend watching the “Appearance Hierarchy 2.0” tutorial in the tips and tricks area. there’s some helpful information in there for all SolidWorks users.
Wow, these tutorials are great. I can’t believe how much time I could have saved with a recent rendering project if I had known that a png already has the alpha channel removed. Thanks! I would love to see a detailed description of all of the output options for PhotoView 360 and what they might be useful for. I was not aware of the differences between a tga and a png and how I might exploit them until I watched this tutorial about removing backgrounds.
