Rendering Issue in CREO

[ptc-6803231]

Hello,

Whenever I switch to creo 2.0's rendering tool the following message pops out.

I am unable to get the rendering effects, as most of the light and special effects are off.

I am unable to understand how to activate or install the Phtotlux.

Anyone who has already faced the same problem or having the solution to this problem kindly help.

System Configuration -

• OS - windows 7
• RAM - 8 GB
• Memory - 300 GB
• Processor - Intel Core-i5
• Macfree Security running - cannot switch it off/modify it, as I use the system provided by my organization.

Thanks,

Nachiket

Hi Nachiket,

please check whether you license contains the module Advanced Rendering Extension 2 (code 283). This module is not included in basic Creo license.

Hi Nachiket,

click File > Help > System Information to open INFORMATION WINDOW.

Then look for Configured Option Modules section. In it you can see all modules available in your Creo session.

Also you can locate license.dat file on your license server, that runs FLEXnet license manager. In this file all licenses you own are available.

Hi Nachiket,

there is no workaround inside Creo. The only commercial rendering software that I know is Keyshot. If you need free rendering software, then you have to use Google .

And of course that Google thing....I will look forward for it.....

I've seen good things in Blender, but it isn't a linked solution like Keyshot or Photolux.

Look at Blender.org and BlenderNation

Usually when you don't have the "Photolux" license, you should not be able to create HDRI lighting.

But it may happen, if you use a scene that has been created with Photolux, that you get this warning, because your scene saved with the model contains functions the simple "Photorender" render cannot use.

If you have not purchased the Photolux render, you probably have to use different scene or rework the scenes.

Is this helpful?

The photolux rendering option is included in Creo Parametric 2.0 Student Version, which is free.

Ruben,

just a notice...

Student Version can be used by real students, only.

Martin,

I know, I am one of them. I just suppose that the people that come here, are students too.

That's all.
