Given the lighting and the overall setup of the default template the output doesn’t look that nice. We then mark our cube and add it to the raytracing object and create the output. In the workbench we add a new Povray object. The P makes Povray pause after the rendering until youĬlick on the window and A turns on the anti-aliasing. Make sure that Povray is installed and the path to the executable is correct and use a meaningful height and width. Start the workbench and then go to Edit Preferences. This brings us to the raytracing workbench. The texture goes across all parts and hides a lot of the details. With the right texture this looks actually quite nice for a simple shape.įor more complex shapes like our Japanese Toolbox from the last part of the tutorial the texture mapping doesn’t work. With this option we can take a photo and wrap it around the entire object. While this is not a perfect option you can get a n idea how darker and lighter woods could be combined on a workpiece.įreeCAD also supports texture mapping. Sometimes it is good enough to just give individual parts a sightly different color. There are a few limited options within FreeCAD to get a better impression of a piece. But sometimes your spouse, your client or someone else who is finally going to buy or use a piece would like to get a better impression of it. Sometimes the grey look of the plain CAD model is all you need to get going.
