Smart Render
| Download Macro | smart-render.swp |
| Custom Icon | smart-render.bmp |
| What it does | Smart Render is a great program for comparing changes you make from one PhotoWorks rendering to another. It AUTOMATICALLY names the files for you ([partname] [timestamp].xxx), or you can name the output image yourself. Files are saved in the same folder as the model you render. All PhotoWorks output formats are available. SmartRender also creates a report file which lists all of your current PhotoWorks Options settings, plus the time it took to create the rendering, plus the image size. It's just as easy as using the "Render to Disk" button, but with a whole lot more features. |
| Pre-Conditions | PhotoWorks addin needs to be running, and a SLDPRT or SLDASM model needs to be active. |
| Notes | Click Here for a sample of the report and output rendering (in JPG format) that is generated by using this macro. |
