Announcing the PhotoView Rendering Contest.
Hello,
We are looking for images to be posted on our upcoming PhotoView 360 Gallery. We would like to include images from our users. To gather images we will be hosting a brief PhotoView Rendering Contest here on the PhotoView discussion forum.
Contest Rules:
1. Post an image to this discussion thread by Friday September 5, 2008.
2. Rendered images should generally be at least 640 x 480 and in no case larger than 2k by 2k in *.bmp format.
2.a.Keep in mind that the images you submit may be scaled down or even cropped.
3. Images must be created using PhotoView 360 only.
4. All "kinds" of images are welcome.....Architectural renderings, product shots, product packaging, engineering visualizations, graphic design, medical imagery, game development, broadcast or film are but a few of the possibilities.
5. It is perfectly OK and even encouraged for you to stamp your image with things like your name, product(s) used or a logo of your company. We cannot guarantee that images that we crop will retain these labels in all cases (though we will try to respect it of course).
6. Winners will be announced via this discussion thread during the week of September 8, 2008.
Prizes:
If we select your image not only will you be rewarded with the fame and recognition of having your image posted to our gallery we will send you an item from our catalog of SolidWorks promotional items (including backpacks, mugs, shirts, manuals, etc...).

I'm currenting having Lux look into that issue. Once we get something back from them, I'll let you know.

In general you're only going to get a caustic effect with a really bright light source - some of the environments should provide these. You could try a scene wtih some glass spheres.

my pen with PW360
great looking image!
Two recommendations - shell the front plastic tip (where the spring is) so it appears more realistic. Second, can't discern what the material is on the clip portion - is that rubber or plastic? - doesn't quite look like either.
Also, for the final image bump up the render quality setting so the shadows underneath the pen are not spolchy.
best,
Greg

Just how did you get those relfections and that background straight out of PhotoView 360? Are you using a secret development version that has all those features we asked for a couple of months back (eg background images, use any HDRI etc)......
Nope I'm using the latest version. If you really want to know. I'm using a software hack that Lin discovered (have to give him credit). He's able to use his own textures (see his I phone and coin images above) and I'm able to use my own HDR environment image which is what you see in the background. It would be so much easier if it were just a background image.
It has very limited controls but if you have the correct image and model it can work well.
What I find troublesome. A couple of very easy software hacks and we've managed to have custom textures and environements but SW/LUX can't include this functionality in the first release?
Have you constructed this assembly of T-1000 by yourself? Very attractive
