Does anyone know of a “High Level” Add-in Render engine for swx 2009?
Right now I export to Rhino and use Vray.

Problems with photoworks 2008 Scenes..noticed in Advanced tutorial first. Textures mapped to walls and floor change scale and rotation randomly when I go in and change any Scene parameter. Floor offset changes with a second render of the same scene. Offset value in dialogue is still zero but table and chair (tutorial for example) float above the floor. Textures don’t show unless I go into Basic Mapping and ensure mapping is Planar. All very weird. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried setting your options to software opengl and seeing of the render works?

I have uploaded the screenshots Greg had sent me prior to posting. They give an idea of what he's encountering.

To set software OpenGL close all documents in SW. Go to Tools -> Options -> Performance and down at the bottom is the option to turn on/off OpenGL.
If you don't have all documents closed this option is greyed out.

SolidWorks has Photoworks Add-in with SW Professional and above. There is also Photoview 360 which is a stand alone program shipped with SW Professional and above.

Probably the best out there right now is Bunkspeed Hypershot. They have a special SWX edition.
