Hello,

i have a Creo Essentials license and i think that render function disappear in Creo 4.0.

Fortunately i rarely use, but i'm disappointed about that.

Any idea for have a rendering? You can change scene and background, but render is another thing....

Hi,

Photorender known from previous versions is not available anymore.

In https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS247247 you will find this explanation:

The traditional Photorender capabilities is replaced with Shading With Reflections capability.

  • This was enhanced in the previous few releases to be equal or better then the legacy Photorender.
  • Another benefit was you did not have to process the rendering to see the results.
  • With the shade with reflection enabled, you can dynamically rotate your model while in the enhanced realism mode.
  • Specifically, the Appearances and Perspective modes.  Now you can easily assign materials, change scenes and see the results immediately while in Shading With Reflectio mode.

That's interesting, actually I think Shading with Reflection has improved a lot, but in Creo 4.0 it seems I can't find the camera controls to tweak focal length etc... any hint on where they are now?
