This Onshape Render Studio application allows the creation of photorealistic scenes from imported Part Studios or Assemblies. Use scenes to test model appearances and materials, lighting and camera setups, and environments. Export scenes as .jpg- or .png-formatted images to market rendered designs.

Once imported via the Document tab menu, a Render Studio tab is created where parts, Part Studios, and Assemblies are inserted into a Render Studio scene. Create as many Render Studio tabs as needed. Each tab contains a single scene. Scenes can be updated since they are linked to their part, Part Studio, or Assembly. Updates in the model or assembly can be updated in the scene.
