Does anyone know if additional Spherical Environment Maps can be downloaded into Solidworks for use with the real view graphic rendering.

I would like to use a modified outdoor background for presentations and marketing...

Thanks!

Hi Ryall - there is not yet any additional environments available but we're very aware that it's important to have additional environments as well as letting the user pick their own lighting and background plate.

best,

Greg

  Hi Ryall,
  
  You asked about bringing them into "Solidworks for use with the real view graphic rendering". Is that what you really meant? Or did you want to bring them ultimately into PhotoView for ray trace rendering?
  
  Greg is correct that currently, you can only use the preset environments in PhotoView.
  
  You can, however, bring in custom environments for use in RealView. It's not point and click...you need to convert them into cubemaps. There's an article on how to do it on the SolidWorks Labs site: Try labs.solidworks.com/Blog/Blog.aspx?post=44
