RealView graphics? (+ rendering)

Hi Jerry -

I hope that you don't feel like I'm hijacking your thread, but for
anyone who uses realview and rendering:

Does having realview make rendering faster (PW add-on is installed &
active)?

If you have realview active and do a screencapture animation, does it
make it any better (faster)?

I know that these are some real noob questions, but I'm considering a
computer upgrade and wondered if this helps one render better,
particularly when doing the "interactive rendering".

Any advice from those who have "been there" appreciated.

Thanks folks,

SMA

 

Hello Sean-

PhotoWorks does not use RealView. You can edit the material in SolidWorks
say as Stainless Steel, RealView enabled, but in PhotoWorks, you still have
to assign a Material to the part. Very confusing, in my opinion.
If you look at my website, Gallery, Page 2, you'll see all of my examples
created using PhotoWorks, except one. That's the SMA brass connector. I used
RealView and saved as a .jpg.
I find PhotoWorks difficult to use, but it works, in the end, and the
alternative replacement applications are expensive.
