Presentation images from selected Creo product variants.
Creo Options Modeler supports configurable product structures, selectable module variants, and generated variant assemblies. Its Variant Builder lets engineering teams define option choices, preview the selected configuration, and create a distinct product variant from a common product architecture. When a chosen configuration needs to be understood outside the option-selection workspace, a clear Creo design view can become the basis for a more polished presentation image.
Creo Options Modeler supports configurable product structures, selectable module variants, and generated variant assemblies.

When a chosen configuration needs to be understood outside the option-selection workspace, a clear Creo design view can become the basis for a more polished presentation image.
Creo Options Modeler is for building configurable products from a shared design structure: teams assign options and choices to configurable modules, module variants, and components, then use Variant Builder to select a configuration. The selected choices can be previewed in the graphics area and used to generate a standalone product variant assembly. That makes it useful for organizations with a common platform and visibly different product configurations, such as equipment with alternate modules, housings, attachments, or feature sets.
RENDERCAD fits after the engineering team has selected and reviewed the configuration in Creo. Capture a clean viewport of the preview or generated variant assembly that clearly shows the chosen modules, product silhouette, and distinguishing details. It can turn that approved view into a more presentation-ready still with intentional lighting, material separation, shadows, and a suitable background. Useful outputs include configuration-review slides, proposal illustrations, customer discussion visuals, portfolio images, and launch-planning concepts. For side-by-side option communication, create a separate approved Creo capture for each meaningful variant rather than asking an image to infer the configuration logic.
Keep Creo Options Modeler as the source of truth for option rules, choice assignments, variant specifications, assembly structure, and engineering validation. A RENDERCAD image is for visual communication, not proof that a configuration is valid or that every connection, interface, or material property is exact.
In Creo Options Modeler, open the configurable product in Variant Builder and select the required option choices. Use the options summary and model graphics to confirm that the visible configuration is the one the audience needs to see. Update the representation for a visual check, or create the product variant when a separate variant assembly is the approved record. In Creo, choose a shaded orientation that exposes the selected module alternatives and their relationship to the shared platform. An exploded view, simplified representation, or isolated assembly zone is useful only when it makes the choice easier to read.
Hide selection highlights, datums, annotations, and unrelated components before capturing the viewport. Give RENDERCAD the capture with a short brief covering the intended audience, setting, finish, lighting, and background. Review the resulting image against the approved Creo view before using it in a proposal or presentation. Return to Creo for any changes to option selections, reference routing, assembly content, and validation; use native Creo visualization when the deliverable needs controlled CAD scene settings. For API implementation details, see RENDERCAD developer documentation.

RENDERCAD uses a maintained selection of image-generation models for different rendering tasks. Results can vary by model and input, so compare generated output with the source design before relying on geometry, materials, or dimensions.

4K is an optional output-resolution step. It increases pixel dimensions but does not restore missing source detail or guarantee print suitability.
It guides the video toward a looping transition. Review continuity after export because the first and last frames may still need editing.
Use an authorized photo with the intended studio, outdoor, or dramatic lighting as a reference. It guides the look but does not reproduce a measured lighting setup.
Yes. Mask each region and assign an authorized texture reference or instruction. Review material boundaries, scale, and product fidelity after generation.
Share only reference images your team is authorized to use, together with the instructions and review criteria that produced a useful result. Reusing a reference can guide consistency but does not guarantee identical output.
Describe the velvet color, pile direction, and lighting, or add an authorized material reference. Review the generated texture because fiber scale and light response can vary.
Choose the Dusty condition and describe the intended atmosphere. Generated dust is illustrative, so review how it affects important product details.
Choose the Orbit camera preset in the Video panel. Review the generated clip because viewpoint changes and product details can vary from a single-image input.
Use the RENDERCAD Overlay to capture a clear viewport without rebuilding a separate render scene. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Yes. A current desktop capture app and browser extension are available, and the browser upload workflow remains available without either tool.
Start with a sharp input, choose the Realistic engine, and use 4K when additional output resolution is needed. Higher resolution does not recover source detail that is missing or guarantee geometry fidelity.
Generation runs on cloud infrastructure, so a local rendering GPU is not required. The laptop still needs a supported browser, network access, and enough resources for the source application and image upload.
