Do you know, that… ?

In the library there are many sOlidwOrks appearances (texture) to use. Using pre-defined layouts can change their parameters or leave the default. View, how changing the parameters affects the appearance of.

Test model for fish. I want to get the effect of scales. Unfortunately I do not have a finished appearance that meets the visual requirements.

Thus, we modify the parameters of the material named “carpet Color1“. Editing you make appearance in several ways. One of them is holding ALT while dragging appearance. If the appearance has been given, it can be modified in the Display Manager DisplayManager (tree surgery). You can also expand the context menu when you click on the wall and there appears all appearances stepped structure, where you can edit or delete.

To meet the assumptions of visual appearance, you can modify mapping type (e.g. spherical, cylindrical or flat), Color / Image, illumination and surface finish.

Surface finish is nothing but the roughness obtained on the basis of the bump map drawn from an image file. Most appearances is immediately associated with the appropriate graphic file defining the convexity / concavity. Of course, the degree may be modified. You can also choose your own finishes. In this embodiment, however, it remains unchanged, only modifies the protrusions.

Another important parameter is Illumination. Here I change basically everything, adapting to the expectations of appearance.

Finally I get the following effect. attention! Such a display mode in real time requires a sound card supporting RealView. If you want to perform rendering – should enable an add PhotoView 360. This way you can get a lot more appearances than in reality contains a library of SolidWorks.

remember, that set the stage hand in hand with advanced settings allow you to get up appearances realistic visualization products.
