5 Amazing Enhancements in SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2022

Match Camera

SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional

2D backgrounds are simple to source online or to capture with any camera, they're a great option for placing your designs in a realistic setting but often it's time consuming to position a model so it looks 'right'. The new match camera functionality dramatically simplifies this, simply align reference markers with your image and Visualize will match the correct perspective and camera focal length.

Scatter Pattern

SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard

The new scatter pattern option allows you to quickly and easily create randomly placed duplicates of items within a given space. Each instance can vary in scale and this is controlled by simply choosing a minimum and maximum amount. If you don't like the arrangement created you can quickly redo it by pressing the randomize button. Non-uniformity is key when aiming for realism in renders and this is another great tool to help you achieve it.
