While Luxion Keyshot and other CAD render packages work wonders for a LOT of industrial designers, there are some who may want a little bit more control over their presentation options—including animations. For most, Luxology’s modo is the solution for total light and rigging control when rendering out stills or animations for their presentations. In this video, we’ll take a look at importing a SolidWorks model into modo, as well as using CAD loaders and working with modo to create a jaw-dropping final product visualization from our original SolidWorks model.

Oftentimes you may be working with people (yourself included) who prefer to use modo for specific tasks. The wall between Rhino and SolidWorks file types can get quite murky though when file types get disorganized or are wrong altogether. In this video, we’ll take a look at the best practices for working with files between SolidWorks and Rhino.

Well, we did it folks! AMPY is officially built! But what if you want to show AMPY to other people? In this video, we’ll take a look at adjusting the viewport displays for presenting AMPY within SolidWorks to a colleague, as well as creating drawings to export to an engineer or for manufacturing purposes.
