What is Render Studio?
Render Studio brings photorealistic rendering to the Onshape platform. This allows users to create renders of their CAD models without the need for a high-end graphics processing unit (GPU) or dedicated workstation. Bolstered by a diverse catalog of materials, textures, and lighting options, designers and engineers can now create dynamic professional-grade images of their Onshape models within a high-resolution, 360-degree environment.
Key Features
Accelerate CAD Design
Render Studio enables designers and engineers to rapidly visualize design changes in a variety of settings. This bypasses traditional delays in development and prototyping, allowing for instant design enhancements and choices that best suit their target audience, speeding time-to-market.

Improve Design Collaboration
Render Studio facilitates real-time sharing with key stakeholders –such as marketing teams– by providing them with an assortment of product imagery. This enables both CAD and non-CAD users to visualize the final design prior to completion.

Environment Library
The Environment Library in Render Studio allows users to craft realistic settings with dynamic lighting and shadows. Offering a wide selection of options for light color, intensity (lumens), and other effects of lighting within a scene, it enables the creation of immersive, photorealistic images.

Materials Library
The Materials Library in Render Studio lets users choose and model various materials and textures—like metal, rubber, or matte finishes—for their designs. This feature enables experimentation with different material impacts on designs. Users can customize and save preferred materials for future projects, enhancing efficiency.
Design Updates
The Design Updates feature in Render Studio allows users to modify a surface or material and automatically apply the changes to all instances of that component. This automation saves time and eliminates the manual effort of updating each item individually.
Render Studio Advanced
Render Studio Advanced extends rendering from any device, delivering high-quality images of up to 100 megapixels, perfect for extensive digital cropping and zooming. It provides the high-resolution images needed for marketing, AR, VR, and mixed-reality deliverables.

Render Studio images can be output in Full High Definition ( up to 2 megapixels ) and are suitable for marketing, such as 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution images which are 1.3 megapixel. With an additional upgrade for Render Studio Advanced you can render images up to 100 megapixel or 10,000 x 10,000 image resolution.
Image resolution can be set in the Render Studio options panel using height and width prior to rendering.
Using cloud-based NVIDIA Iray technology, rendering times for large images are highly performant without requiring users to specify HPC settings.
