I'd like to try rendering stuff
Yes, you do have to enable photoworks, but its quick and easy.
  1. While in SolidWorks, go to the tools menu, and click Add-ins.
  2. Click the checkbox next to photoworks (and if you want it to run every time you run solidworks, click the checkbox on the right as well)
This will enable:
  • A new tab in the left column with material and environment options and such
  • A tab in the right browser with info about different materials
  • The PhotoWorks toolbar can now be shown by clicking on a blank space on the existing toolbar and selecting photoworks.
You can just play around with it if you like, but I reccomend the tutorials that come with solidworks (Help Menu > Tutorials)


EDIT: M. Krass beat me to it.
