If this is something you are struggling with, make sure to check out our mapping and scaling textures in SOLIDWORKS Visualize tutorial. After application, the mapping may need to be corrected on the surface. In the example shown above, a Golf ball bump map has been applied to the model using an image. This can be done from Visualize’s existing appearance library.Īfter applying the appearance, the Bump Map can be added from the Texture tab when the appearance is selected. How to apply your chosen images to your renderįirstly, apply a material which is similar to the one you’re after. However, make sure that the image you’re using isn’t copywritten before including it in your render! Simply Google searching for the name of the appearance you’re looking for followed by “Texture”, “Bump Map” or “Normal Map” will often yield plenty of results. This is because it makes your model look more geometrically complex, without the effort of having to model in the complexity manually.īefore going through and creating a new appearance, a bump map will be sourced, either from within Visualize, or from an image library on your computer, or even the Web. So without further ado… Why use a Bump Map?Ī Bump Map is a great way to quickly improve the realism of an appearance in SOLIDWORKS.

This tutorial focuses on how to use a Bump Map in SOLIDWORKS Visualize to add a customised “textured” look to your renders.
