SolidWorks offers a comprehensive set of product design materials ranging from brushed and matte metals to textured plastics and glass.

RealView and PhotoWorks - RealView is a fully dynamic method for quickly defining and previewing materials semi-realistically. When the designer requires photo-realism whether it is to present your final design or create box artwork, with a click of a button, PhotoWorks™ renders a more accurate, fully ray-traced scene with HDR (Hi-Dynamic Range) indirect illumination which, in many cases, is indistinguishable from a real photograph. Because RealView and PhotoWorks share the same material database, RealView compliments PhotoWorks as a quick and easy method for assigning and previewing materials.
