Hi There

Just wondering if anyone has ever managed to get a good renderingof people in Solidworks? I'm an industrial designer and have to doa lot of product presentation images for clients. Photoworks isreally good now for doing products on their own, but quite often weneed to add a person to a scene to show a product in use.

At the moment I use Poser to create the person in roughly the rightposition and then put it together with the product image inPhotoshop. This is a bit tedious and doesn't give great results.The alternative is to use more "graphic" solutions, like add onoutlines of people or "light grey people", which can sometimes lookmore sophisticated than a dodgey rendering of a computer person.Very occasionally we have put real photos of people together withthe render, but again it's really difficult to get the render tomatch the pose exactly without looking odd.

I know some industrial/product designers just output SW files toStudio Max or Maya and put it all together in there. But these areexpensive programs, both in terms of money and time to learn.

Has anyone here really tackled this workflow and got somethingworking well within a reasonable budget?

Thanks
