Inventor Illustrations

Have you ever needed illustration rendering for catalogs or marketing material? Inventor 2008 added the ability to create illustrated rendering with several options. Not only can we create realistic renderings with shadows, reflections and materials, we can create rendering with no color, single color or surface style.
To get into these rendering options, open an assembly and select "Inventor Studio" under the Application pull down. Once in Studio, Select the render
button to determine setting for you rendering. In the General tab you can specify Illustration rendering then determine how you want the illustrated rendering to look from the Style tab.
You can create still images or acutal animations with these settings as well. If you are a little creative and have a little time to playou can even mix them together with a little post editing. take a look at an animation I did in Inventor 2008 where I used these setting to make various animations and images all blended together.
Enjoy!

That is the tricky part, rendered several realistic shots and used Photoshop to crop them to overlay on the illustrated rendering. I then used a video editor to blend the various cropped images over the illustrated rendering to give me this effect. It took some time but turned out nice.

Have to say, you really made some nice work out of it ! I guess it took you some time, but it really shows the capabilities of the tool. Maybe a tip for advanced video editors, you can also use a Chroma Key Color (Green or Blue), then you can easily integrate it in existing movies, with moving backgrouds etc.

I thought so, for sure it turned out very nice! Looking forward already to Inventor 2009 to see if Inventor Studio has advanced even more!
