St. Louis Here I Come
About a month ago I was asked if I could present a PhotoWorks and RealView session at the St. Louis SolidWorks User Group quarterly meeting. After some arm twisting and my list of demands were met I finally gave in. :) OK, it didn't quite go down like that. I actually jumped at the chance to do a little traveling and network with some fresh SolidWorks faces. It turns out I'll be the main attraction for the meeting and they've given me a whole 2 hours to "walk the walk" and "talk the talk." Here's a description of the session.
PhotoWorks, the photorealistic rendering add-in for SolidWorks, gives SolidWorks users the ability to bring designs to life before their even manufactured. They say an image is worth a thousand words and this is true whether you’re trying to sell a finished product to the consumer, conduct a design review or brainstorm concepts. PhotoWorks turns SolidWorks models into photo quality images for a variety of uses some of which include marketing promotions, brochures, website graphics, trade show banners, advertising images, realistic animations and more. PhotoWorks 2008: Photo finish will be a presentation exploring the different methods and techniques used to create a photo realistic rendering of your SolidWorks model. During the session we’ll step through the creation of a rendering starting from the raw SolidWorks model and finishing with a photograph. Topics covered will include RealView, appearances, lighting, environment setup, scene setup, camera control, render to file options and lots of tips & tricks along the way. The session is meant to be interactive so bring your questions. Leverage my experience as a seasoned PhotoWorks user to help you create better renderings.
If you're going to be in the St. Louis area on Wednesday July, 16th and you've always wanted the skinny on PhotoWorks you should plan to attend this meeting. I'll also have the 2008 PhotoWorks and Motion Manager guide on hand for those of you who'd like to thumb through the pages before you purchase a copy. See you Wednesday :)
