Can I have photo-realistic images with NX7?
Can I have photo-realistic images with NX7?
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I'm using NX7 and the company that I work needs photo-realistic results of my work.
Comparing for example to 3ds max, is it possible to have those very good photo-realistic images with NX7? and if yes, what exactly I must do?
thank you in advance

RE: Can I have photo-realistic images with NX7?
But first you need to assign materials to your assembly. In the row next to you Assembly navigator, there is a tab system materials. Pick one hold down you left mouse button and drag it over a part of the assembly. Do this for all your parts, then press CTRL+SHIFT+H, start shade and the materials will apply.
Then you can add a background, play with lighting,...
It's not so refined as comparison to 3ds max, but it will do the trick.
Best regards,
Michaël.

I've tried to contact "LightWork Design Ltd" by completing the relevant form, here:
http://www.lightworkdesign.com/contact-form.html
I also tried to send an email but doesn't seem to work as a valid email address:

Still have no response
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
thnx!

oops! I just noticed that second link doesn't work.
I've found the "Lightworks Design Ltd" email address at the official Siemens website:

Actually, I need to collect as much information as I can before the company that I work for proceed to any kind of NX software upgrade or to buy a new one. The truth is that I didn't find any further details at the NX official website concerning ADVANCED 3d photo-realistic rendering. As an old user of 3ds max I have experienced superior results but I don't know many things about the NX rendering capabilities to be able to compare with 3ds max.
If Lightworks is the developer of that NX render extra module (what's the name really?) I would like to know more details about the ADVANCED rendering capabilities like: 3d ready-to-use libraries... and of course user libraries (including materials, textures, mapping), extra lighting and camera effects... etc.
so finally, the last but not least is to compare the prices among advanced rendering applications

Also, here are a few 'YouTube' videos showing some examples of NX Rendering:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46aKyxvCFEU (it's in German, but if you run it at full screen it does a good job of showing you the dialogs for some of the dynamic rendering capabilities of NX)
