        What happens when you say the quiet part out loud about rendering?

        In this episode of SOLIDWORKS LIVE Design, we take on the most controversial takes around AI rendering, photo rendering, and visualization workflows, with zero filter.

        🎯 Joined by a SOLIDWORKS Visualize expert, we challenge three bold claims that engineers and designers are thinking—but rarely say:

        🔥 “Rendering takes too long and isn’t worth it.”
        🔥 “AI has already killed photo rendering.”
        🔥 “No one can tell the difference between a 10-minute render and a 10-hour render.”

        These aren’t hypotheticals, they’re real-world debates happening across product design, marketing, and engineering teams every day.

        So instead of avoiding them…
        Mike Sande puts Jesse Sprague on the spot LIVE to defend rendering and break down what actually matters in modern visualization workflows.

        If you use CAD for product imagery, marketing visuals, technical documentation, or web content, this episode will change how you think about rendering vs AI.
