Which Image Rendering Process in NX 8?

[alj722]

I have been trying to sort out the image rendering options in NX. There are a number of parallel routes to create a high quality image and each seems to almost get me where I want (albeit in a very convoluted way). There is Visualization, Visualize Shape, and True Shading. I thought there was a Visual Studio module as well, but I don't know where that is. I suspect that one or more of these are leftover debris from previous versions of NX. True Shading appears to be just a quick render tool. Can anyone provide some guidance on which is the current path for creating Photo-Realistic images? Is there any good source for learning the current path?

By the way, I downloaded the KeyShot demo and accomplished what I wanted in 5 minutes after 3 days of fiddling with NX. Unfortunately, I need to get some results much faster than I can get a PR through for new SW.

Thanks,

Drew
