RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydrodynamic Hatch Viewport Arrangement

[Brent Hartwig <brenthartwig@hotmail.com>]

Sean, The images come from a CAD model assembly being fully rendered in custom environments with custom lighting.   Not Photoshop type work was done.

"Photo realistic rendering software fully integrated with SolidWorks

PhotoWorks software enables SolidWorks® users to quickly and predictably create photo realistic images that rival those of studio-based photography."
