Rendering in solid edge

[chommen]

I have a rendering problem in solid edge.
I can't resive a high resolution, is there any way i can get the program to render finer, with a higher resolution?

I have use studiotools in school before, and then i could change the quality of my pictures..

Is there any free rendering program that i can use instead? that can make better pictures.

Hi Chommen,

the renderer also uses the sharpness setting of Solid Edge. Use sharpen setting 5 (finest display). Also make sure render mode is set to photorealistic.

Antialiasing (Menu Format --> View I believe) should also be set to highest setting. I hope you have a fast machine though!

Blender is a free modeling/animation/rendering program. The gallery on the offical site shows amazing stuff. The UI seems very complicated to me, similar to 3DS Max. But if I remember when I tried it, I had a lot of trouble finding an export format that Blender could take from SE. Not sure if I had to export to ACIS, then open up in Acad to convert to 3ds.

Forgot to add, re: render in Solid Edge. You may not know that. Once you've rendered a scene, you can save as image and change its resolution to what you want (click on the Options button in the save dialog box).

Thanks for the info this worked well, i din't understand that it "rerenderd" when i took a larger pixel file. i haden't seen the format --> view either

Hmm is there a good book to by for this solid edge program?

This forum i grate! thanks

I've been reading Solid Edge V19 for Designers by Sham Tickoo.

Its definetly a college text book, But it gets a little more depth then the tutorials embedded in SE.

I've been using SE for a year and a lot of whats in the book I had to stumble across the hardway

That's one of the things I regret with Solid Edge, there are very few books on it. Actually, there are only two available from Amazon. I would like to have one that deals with advanced topics (assembly, explode/animate/render, Surface modeling). I also have Sham Tickoo's book, and since I had been *stumbling* in SE for a couple of months when I got it, I learned nothing.
