Blender render experiments

ok, how did you make it that beautiful.
I am testing v5.99 with some of my cards that I just released and it never looked that good - seeing the PTH is a nice touch in v5.99

This improvement is great as I like producing a datapack with the renders.
I did try using Blender as I have a 4card stackup and I wanted to align them all for a great render. it didn’t work :frowning:

Now I can align them in freecad but here is the kicker… I have been playing around with Cycles in Freecad but there are two limitations

  1. it has to be a solid (so you cant import wrl, even though the wrl looks nicer)
  2. it doesn’t interpret STEP colours so it comes out as one colour, unless you start selecting objects and individually setting the colour and material

I made some adjustments in the materials (increased the specular and shininess terms) but the rest is out of box.
It is possible now control the lights in KiCad raytracing, so it must be adjusted too in the settings.
