Since the carbon fiber image used has black and grey, the whole wing disappeared. TA DA! What happened? Well, the Alpha texture maps transparency to the part, so everywhere there is color in the image file used, Visualize will make that transparent. “But Brandon, the next option to pick is ‘Specular’ shouldn’t you use that?” This is my blog and I’ll follow the order that I want! As I was saying, let’s try Alpha and see what we get.Īs you can see I’ve successfully made the wing disappear. Next I’ll try “Alpha” to see if that gets the texture I want. Since that didn’t work I need to remove that texture and try something else. The “Shift will move the map around and the Rotate will Spin the image if that’s needed. You can also use the “Lock/Unlock” right next to the “Tile” to skew the image if needed. I adjusted the size of the map to be closer to what I wanted in step 3 above. What Visualize did was wrap the part with that image file, so the color of the image file was used. The first is “Color”, so if I use the “Load Texture” and select the Carbon Fiber image the result is way off! But when you look at the texture there are four different options of Texture mapping. Once I have the color all set, then I wanted to adjust the texture to get the carbon fiber look I was after. I happen to know the RGB value for that color, so I went ahead and used that. I started with a gloss paint from the library and adjusted the color to match our 3DVision Technologies Orange. Some appearances in the library have already defined textures, but in the case of the Ind圜ar I worked on, I wanted to give the front and rear wings a carbon fiber look that is closer to what is used on the actual cars. But what takes a rendering to the next level is the use of Appearance Textures. The subject of Visualize seems to be interesting to quite a few people so I’ll try and dive a bit deeper on a few of the topics over the course of the next couple of blog posts, so subscribe if you want to follow along!Īppearances in Visualize are pretty awesome, it’s just a matter of dragging and dropping the appearance you want to the part of your model you want to have that appearance. The latter I covered in more depth in my blog post SOLIDWORKS Visualize vs. In a recent 10-4 Tech Talk I gave a quick overview of SOLIDWORKS Visualize and covered when to consider PhotoView 360 or SOLIDWORKS Visualize for your rendering needs.
