Product Animation in 15 min [Solidworks/Blender/Keyshot] 

Blender is my primary render tool. The reason I didn't do it in the video is it was made for designers who use Solidworks and Keyshot but have almost 0 experience in Blender and the render setting in Blender is another big subject that maybe too much to digest in a limited time.

@@shaneXstuff great answer. i'm a C4D guy and learning blender render is not easy.

you can export your design to web or mobile device for interactive 360°

The first question should be 'why didn't you model in blender?'

@@shaneXstuff Thank you so much c:

yes it should work

Yes we can, just export it as .stl .obj format would be the best but not every CAD program can export that.

不好意思那麼晚回覆！機械結構可以用rigging建立零件之間的關聯性，若有流體擠壓的話投機一點可以用boolean遮住不需要的地方，真實一點的話就要用particle或menta flow模擬了

Sorry the files are not provided. Please feel free to use any model that you build with SW for practicing :)

I think the pros of the Keyshot would be simpler workflow due to ready-made materials, compatibility to various CAD files and very good render results for photorealism, the cons include it's bad at reading animated files such as abc. fbx. and the rendering time for image sequence is slow. Simply put, both software can do photorealistic renderings, I think KS is easy but less flexible whereas Blender needs more time to set up but there is way more things you could do as the groundwork is laid.

@@shaneXstuff thank you bro

@@shaneXstuff Do you think doing things in blender would be better if you're already familiar with the workflow?

@@gokiburi-chan4255 I think it depends on what things you're doing and whom you're working with. I use Blender for everything for all my personal projects, but my job requires me to work collaboratively with engineers and other industrial designers. Since engineers use SW mostly and ID use SW and Keyshot, I developed this Solidworks/Blender/Keyshot workflow to accommodate my situation. I didn't mean to raise an argument about which workflow is the best but it's interesting to see people share their opinions :)

@@shaneXstuff any tips on how I could land a job similar to yours? I’m a mechanical engineer graduate

thanks for the suggestion, I'd like to share Blender techniques more but I'll think about it :)

Like my channel. I'll do that if you still need

yes I did :)

I haven't tried it. You probably can :)

Because I think the rendering section of Blender is too much for a designer who only knows Keyshot to learn in a short time and I want to keep this short. Personally, 90% of my projects is rendered with Blender :)

rigging will definitely help!

I improved the workflow a bit after making this, so there will be probably an update video, I'm definitely considering a full course yes, but I'm still gathering things together.

@@shaneXstuff As an engineering student I really need this, God bless you, Sorry for the offends with you not religious

@@shaneXstuff is there a way we can contact you?

I agree that transparent materials are tricky... instead of stl, I recently find a way to have decent hard surface models in Blender: opening native SW files in Keyshot and export them to .OBJ, I don't know the reasons but Keyshot turns out to be a good OBJ format converter compared to other tools I've used.

不好意思目前我沒有開喔，不過Blender的資源應該不難找的😁🙏
