This is just an update to a previously posted render, which can be found here

This is what I changed:
Addition of SVG extrudes for labeling, logos and flavor text
Addition of an actual hologram sight
BLOOM
New texture on the heat exchange vents to give the appearance of a better, more heat-tolerant internal structure.
New plasticized rubber texture on the handguard to give a better ergonomic look.
F5: Changed logo to metallic texture

This was rendered in SolidWorks Visualize 2020 as opposed to SolidWorks 2018 PhotoReal render engine. This change brought with it better texture remapping and application, along with a lot of denoising, which has given me a much sharper image. In fact, the text is actually a different layer, and the source image render of the Augur is a 5K image.

I can probably do a bit more to give a slightly more transparent look to the sight reticle, but I am still learning the new SWV interface. I will probably update this more later. Does this style of image work well, or should I do a multi-view, reference sheet style?

Let me know what you think in the comments and I can see where this takes me on my CAD journey!
