Solid Edge from Siemens Digital Industries Software is a portfolio of product development software solutions spanning the design, simulation, manufacturing, technical publications and data management phases.

This solution allows you to manage all aspects of the product development process, thanks to synchronous technology, combining the speed and simplicity of direct modeling with the flexibility and control offered by parametric design.

In addition, with 3D Rendering, Solid Edge allows you to create photorealistic animations and images directly within the modeling environment. Integrated assembly explosion, rendering and animation features are combined with kinematic simulation and add realism to your models allowing you to clearly communicate the vision of the final product to your customers or prospects. The features present in Solid Edge for 3D Rendering are:

• Drag the cursor to modify materials, lighting and environments: Allows the modification of materials, lighting and environments by dragging elements from a comprehensive library of materials
• Save preferences for quick reuse of settings: so you always have all your data and settings at hand and reduce the time it takes to create 3D Rendering
• Get unparalleled photorealism with default settings: perspective allows you to increase the realism of images by achieving photo-like quality
• Use custom backgrounds to contextualize products: you can place your virtual product in a realistic environment In this eBook, we will also provide you with seven tips you can put into practice to improve the realism of your rendered models
