SolidCraft 0.22.0 Update: From CAD to Render—Step by Step

SolidCraft 0.22.0 introduces a new Render workspace! In this tutorial, I take a practice bracket from CAD modeling to a finished render, working through parameters, pin holes, materials, camera placement, and lighting. Follow along as I modify the bracket, change a parameter, and prepare a product image using the CPU ray-tracing option shown in the video.
