Basics of Visualize 2024 , i.e. the replacement for PhotoView 360. PhotoView 360 has been removed from SolidWorks. As great as it was, it only used the CPU cores for rendering. Depending upon your graphics card, Visualize can use both CPU and GPU cores - in many cases significantly improving performance by reducing rendering wait times. About the Diving Gel Wristwatch cover rendering. I created this around 1998/99 using SolidWorks earliest renderer known as PhotoWorks. A 1024 x 768 size version of it took around eight hours to render on a single core Pentium Pro 200Mhz w/256k cache, 128MB of RAM and an 8MB Permedia/FireGL PCI card. Since then SolidWorks has switched out the rendering engine a few times. I'm sure if I were to try and recreate this it would turn out far better in a fraction of the time. For it's day the model was considered unfathomable, and accusations from SolidWorks own applications engineers believing it was modeled in a high-end surfacing software, stating SolidWorks wasn't capable of creating such a complex shape. I designed it in under 5 minutes using a new feature for its day, i.e. the Dome feature on a hurricane shaped glyph silhouette extrusion.
