Imagine capturing the trophy’s gleaming and reflective elegance, just like it shines on the podium. This session is your ticket to mastering advanced rendering techniques, perfect for celebrating the Super Bowl spirit! 

Join us, as Chris Duchaine, a TriMech Solutions Consultant, starts with a detailed SOLIDWORKS CAD model of the trophy and seamlessly integrates it with SOLIDWORKS Visualize using the efficient add-in feature. We dive into the art of applying custom lighting, mimicking a professional photo studio, to accentuate the trophy’s brilliance. The journey continues as we animate a turntable, providing a 360º view of the trophy in all its glory.

Finally, learn how to use the rendering queue feature to efficiently render high-quality visuals outside working hours, ensuring optimal use of resources. 

During this SOLIDWORKS On-Demand Webinar, you will learn:

• Setup and use of the SOLIDWORKS Visualize add-in for efficient model conversion. 
• Techniques for creating stunning lighting setups for that perfect hero shot. 
• Steps to animate and render a turntable showcasing every angle of your model. 
• Utilizing the rendering queue for efficient, high-quality outputs. 

Deployment and Infrastructure

On Premise: In an on-premise setup, the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is installed on your organization’s own servers and hardware. This requires an initial investment in infrastructure, as well as ongoing maintenance and management of the system. Which means working with partners for implementation of the functionality you want on your on-premise solution. On-premise solutions offer complete control over your data and environment, but also demand higher upfront costs and ongoing resources.

Cloud: In contrast, cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Platforms are hosted on third-party servers and can be accessed through a web browser. This eliminates the need for significant upfront investment and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. Cloud solutions also offer scalability, allowing you to easily expand or reduce resources as needed. However, you may have less control over your data and security, depending on the provider’s policies and infrastructure.

Security and Data Privacy

On Premise: With an on-premise 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, your organization is responsible for implementing and maintaining security measures to protect your data. This allows you to customize your security protocols to meet your unique requirements. However, this also means that the burden of ensuring data privacy and compliance falls on your organization.

Cloud: When using a cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, the responsibility for data security is shared between your organization and the cloud service provider. Reputable providers adhere to strict security standards and certifications, ensuring a high level of protection for your data.

Cost and Flexibility

On Premise: On-premise 3DEXPERIENCE Platforms typically involve higher upfront costs, including the purchase of hardware and software licenses, implementation, as well as ongoing maintenance and support expenses. However, these costs can be more predictable and consistent over time. On-premise solutions often require long-term commitments, which may not suit businesses looking for flexibility.

Cloud: Cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Platforms operate on a subscription basis, which usually results in lower upfront costs. Ongoing expenses are based on usage and can be scaled up or down as needed. This flexibility makes cloud platforms an attractive option for businesses with variable demands or those seeking to minimize capital expenditure.

Collaboration and Accessibility

On Premise: While on-premise 3DEXPERIENCE Platforms can support collaboration, they often require additional setup and configuration to enable remote access. This may limit the platform’s accessibility for external collaborators or remote team members.

Cloud: Cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Platforms are designed to support collaboration and accessibility from the outset. As they are accessed through a web browser, team members can collaborate and share information from any location, as long as they have an internet connection. This makes cloud solutions an ideal choice for organizations with dispersed teams or those working with external partners.

3DEXPERIENCE On Premise or On Cloud Conclusion

Choosing between an on-premise and cloud-based Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Platform depends on your organization’s unique needs and priorities. On-premise solutions offer greater control over your environment and data, while cloud platforms provide flexibility, scalability, and easy collaboration. By considering factors such as infrastructure, security, cost, and accessibility, you can make an informed decision about which option is best suited for your organization. Ultimately, understanding the technical specifics of each deployment option will help you select the most appropriate solution to support your organization’s growth and achieve your business objectives.
