No problem, just import your model, and select the turntable output.\u00a0 You can also create interactive panoramic and virtual reality outputs as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36983 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dewalt-VR2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>CONFIGURATIONS.<\/strong>\u00a0 SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional allows you to quickly show different options and versions of your product, camera, environment, etc. with different configurations.\u00a0 If you\u2019re trying to show different options for customers, quickly, Configurations is a must.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36979 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DeWalt-Configs.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1430\" height=\"762\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>POST PROCESSING.<\/strong> Nothing quite says \u201cProfessional\u201d as much as post processing images.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s filtering, motion blurs, or probably the most impactful, Depth of Field, post processing an image (or video) from a rendered environment shows a level of professionalism to clients and stake-holders that cannot be matched.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOOST.<\/strong> With SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional, you also get a free license of SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost.\u00a0 This license allows you to use another machine as a render farm for your work.\u00a0 So if you have a lot of work to get done and little time to do it, you can use your Boost node to do the rendering, while your local machine is still using all your horsepower on set up for the next job you\u2019re sending to the farm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36980 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Boost.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1894\" height=\"854\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is if you\u2019re considering taking your product rendering to the next level, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional is a must!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/blog\/author\/bnelms\/\">Brandon Nelms<\/a><br \/>\nApplication Engineer<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/\">Computer Aided Technology, Inc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do I Really Need SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional?
