Artistic Renderworks. You can choose Renderworks settings from the menu bar, or from the view bar. Artistic Renderworks lets you create an artistic rendering that looks like a pencil sketch, cartoon and so on.
Custom RenderWorks. This rendering method has a lot of flexibility. There are several options you can choose from, so you can make Custom Renderworks go from Fast Renderworks to Final Quality, and some special options as well.
Final quality RenderWorks. This is my usual render choice. It is high quality. This one of the best rendering options available, but it is also fairly slow. Some views can take several minutes.
Fast RenderWorks with shadows. This rendering mode is better, you can see the shadows, but it is barely a step up from OpenGL, and there are no options to choose from.
OpenGL rendering is fast and reasonable quality, but is to not the best quality. I sometimes call it quick and dirty, because it is one of the fastest rendering modes, but it si not the most accurate.
Line Render. These options only control the current file. So as you change files, you will have to come back to these and check.
The Renderworks Camera tool is great for setting the view. It is similar to the Set 3D command in that you click to locate the camera position and look toward position, but unlike the Set 3D View, you end up with an object on the screen that you can move…
Set 3D View. We are going to set a perspective view of the object. It helps to be able to see the whole scene when you are setting the perspective so check that you can see enough of the object. Fit To Window will help out, or zoom out until you…
The walk through tool is used to walk into and through your model. You can use it from any perspective view but the results are always more pleasing if you set your perspective first.
The Flyover tool is used to move your view around the building – over and under the building. But you can’t walk into the building. That’s what the Walkthrough tool is for. You can use this tool from any view.
