PHOTOVIEW 360 - Saving appearances
PHOTOVIEW 360 - Saving appearances
(OP)
Hi,
I'm using Photoview 360 in SW 2010. Or more accurately, trying to.
Having played with a paint finish to get it to represent what we actually have on our product i.e. texture, colour etc, I'd like to save it for future use. Can I? If I can, I don't see how!
If you can't save anything or add to the standard appearances, it would make repeat jobs very tedious.
Help!!

RE: PHOTOVIEW 360 - Saving appearances
What I mean is this; Say I played around and finally got a finish that looked real for a part of my product - for example a particular colour of textured aluminium anodising. That finish is common on my products I would like to select it again when producing a Photo View image of another assembly. Ideally it would appear in the list of available appearances but I don't see that it's possible to 'Save' a custom appearance.
Am I wrong?

I have always struggled with PhotoWorks but I just completed a job using 360 and it's great! It looks so real it even confuses me! I always found it hard to render a part that's painted matt black and covered in black anodised parts and black screws!
