Solid Edge offers built-in rendering, allowing you to create photo-realistic images and animations from within the modeling environment.

Realistic 3D rendering

A picture of your finished product can help you communicate your design to both internal and external stakeholders. The beauty of rendering is that you can generate realistic looking photo quality images before you even cut the first piece of material to manufacture your product.

Drag-and-drop editing of materials, lighting and environments

KeyShot in Solid Edge makes 3D rendering easy–you can change materials, lighting and environments, by simply dragging and dropping from a huge library of optional materials, colors, lighting schemes, and backgrounds.

Save preferences for easy referencing

Save your favorite colors, materials and lighting into a custom folder for quick and easy access. These materials may be company standards, or just your personal preferences.

Create unmatched photo-realism with out-of-the-box settings

Add perspective, creating realism when generating photo quality images for marketing and packaging, with out of the box lighting schemes and matching environments for indoors, outdoors and studios.

Use custom backgrounds to frame your products

Use your own custom background image to place your virtual product in a realistic environment—for example, in a consumer’s home, on your shop floor, or in an artistic setting.
