Design Communication – Inventor Studio, Animation, Rendering, and Presentation Files
A successful design project can be measured by how well the benefits and the solution are communicated and understood by the stakeholders. Therefore, being able to visualize designs in 3D within Inventor is highly important. Designers need to be able to render, animate, and sometimes quickly annotate parts and assemblies to communicate key design changes, updates, and showcase product features.
This chapter focuses on how a designer can implement renderings, explode views with presentation files, and create animations. The chapter also focuses on some of the basic areas of Inventor rendering, animation, and design change documentation. This will aid the designer in all aspects of product and concept presentation. Although Inventor can produce good rendered images/animations, it is not a specific tailored rendering application. In this respect, there are limitations, but for most mechanical...
