Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Use the tools in this section to prepare your model for final rendering.
Access and edit settings for materials, environments, environment lights, labels, camera positioning, and rendering.
Distant light and sunlight are similar. You can change the intensity and size of a distant light, whereas sunlight is calculated based on the position of the sun. Both emit light from so far away that when the rays arrive at the object, they are parallel. As the result, surfaces with the same orientation receive the same quantity of light regardless of their distance from the light source.

Start using Inspire Studio with our interactive tutorials.
Create and edit a 2D sketch curve. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
Create and edit 3D curves by extending, rebuilding, intersecting, splitting, and projecting the shapes.
Create and edit 3D surfaces and solids by creating primitives or editing existing curves and surfaces.
Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces.
Create new objects by manipulating and modifying source objects.
Quickly modify objects that are not a part of Construction History.
Deform one or more objects with respect to an axis.
Analyze curves and surfaces, import simulation data, or access the Design Table and Variable Manager.
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined dimensions.
Create detailed 2D drawings of the selected parts of a complex 3D model from multiple perspectives.
An overview of the typical rendering process.
Interactive rendering modes are display modes that render your scene in real time, so you can interactively apply materials, modify the environment, and change the camera position.
Create, modify, apply, save, and organize materials.
Modify the background, lighting, and shadows.
Open the Render library flyout panel, where you can access preset Materials, Environments, and Models.
Create a final rendered image.
In Inspire Studio you can animate an object or group and the camera. There are two methods of animation: key frame animation and path animation.
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
You can use C++ and Python to add custom operations and file formats.
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
Inspire Studio supports 3Dconnexion's SpaceMouse.
