He also shows how you can change the environment, add in components (like hardware) to promote realism, and even use a Physics tool in Visualize to naturally randomize the positioning of components, such as hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Michael and Jesse discuss the vast concept of modeling in seemingly random imperfections. If some aspects look too perfect, they can be an obvious giveaway that the image is a computer graphic and not a photograph of a real object.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30468\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment.jpg 854w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment-615x346.jpg 615w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/solidworks-visualize-connected-environment-728x409.jpg 728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lighting is crucial to a rendering.
