Visualizing digital prototypes in context with Autodesk VRED

In this session, we will share insights for how to review, evaluate, and showcase digital prototypes in context, holistically. Using the example of a kitchen, we are showing how Fusion and Revit Data can be used in Autodesk VRED to influence and inform the design and layout process.

Future disruptions in automotive design with Alias & VRED line of products

In the last few years, we’ve witnessed automotive design undergoing a sea of change, largely driven by two factors – climate change concerns and consumer behavior. Push for more greener vehicles fueled by technological advancements has created a new category for consumers, which is redefining the traditional vehicle aesthetics. Similarly, the forces linked to ever-changing consumer aspirations and behaviors, largely driven by factors like rapid urbanization, rise in disposable incomes, digital and social awareness, unwarranted events like the COVID pandemic, and geopolitical tensions are already impacting automotive design.

Road to the digital shop floor - stream-lined decision with VRED Core

Digitization of creative design workflows has unleashed creators’ capabilities and allowed them to experience the designed product earlier. It has some downsides though.

Using AI-enabled speech control to increase immersion for XR design review

In using immersive systems such as VR and XR for design review, a key attribute of the system is a seamless interaction with at-scale - realistic digital models. Autodesk VRED is a well-accepted manufacturing design review application, offering close to truth photorealism and a highly-immersive XR interface. In using AI-enabled speech control with VRED, the level of immersion is increased, allowing a user direct interaction with the digital model without the need of scene-occluding GUIs. It also allowing the user to naively interact with VRED, enabling more users to perform unassisted design reviews in XR. Project Mellon is NVIDIA's internal speech enablement project that uses the state-of-the-art Riva ASR with a prototype dialog manager and 0-shot learning NLP to achieve a developer-friendly integration of AI-enabled speech. In this session, we will show Mellon/VRED and discuss how Mellon is used to easily update command lists without the need of extensive NLP training.

Transforming Custom Car Design with British Supercar Manufacturer

Supercar manufacturer, BAC, is the creator of the world's first road-legal, single-seater supercar – the Mono. Brothers Neill and Ian Briggs designed the Mono with the vision of offering the most authentic and pure driving experience, combined with unrivaled performance and attention to detail. Technology plays an integral role in the design and manufacturing process, which is why they choose Z by HP and NVIDIA. Join Ian Briggs, BAC Design Director and Co-Founder, Anthony Graves and Barbara Marshall of Z by HP, and Himanshu Iyer of NVIDIA in this session and panel discussion. Learn how BAC built a unique business model, transforming the sport of driving through personalization, how BAC accelerates design and engineering workflows with Z by HP powered by NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs, and hear from industry experts on what is shaping and transforming the future of the automotive industry.

Automotive virtual design reviews using VRED Quick Start on the AWS Cloud

Autodesk VRED 3D visualization software helps designers and engineers create product presentations, design reviews, and virtual prototypes, using interactive GPU raytracing and both analytic and cloud-rendering modes. This session highlights the AWS Quick Start designed for IT infrastructure architects, administrators, and DevOps professionals who are planning to implement or extend their Autodesk VRED workloads on the AWS Cloud to enable realtime, virtual, design reviews.

XR-Based Decision Making in Automotive

With virtual and augmented reality, the auto sector can increase efficiencies through collaborative environments, and build more-impressive tools within phases—from research and development, through manufacturing and supply, on to marketing and sales.

Workflow from Alias Subdivision to VRED VR Collaborative Presentations

Start with 2D sketches for an automotive interior, then go to Alias subdivision models. For review, we’ll use VRED virtual reality (VR) to present and discuss it in collaborative mode.

Cloud-Based Design Review in High-Quality Real-Time Rendering

Access, view, and interact live with 3D data sets in the cloud (using the VRED Stream app to share 3D models over the web). This class shows how you can visualize complex 3D data sets in photorealistic quality on any device, while giving real time access to all configurations and collaborating with colleagues and customers.

Alias and VRED for Heavy Machinery Design

This session looks at how Alias and VRED software enable the design and visualization of heavy machinery and equipment.

Virtual Design Reviews in VRED Using Raytracing and Remote Collaboration

This session explores case studies and demonstrates the capabilities of real time remote collaboration, enabling participation from far-flung departments around the world, without requiring travel.

Concept Design Workflow – Spaceship Interior

This session covers a concept design workflow using Alias Create VR software, Alias subdivision, Alias detailing, and VRED visualization techniques.

How Autodesk Can Streamline the Automotive Clay Studio Workflows

This session is about how Autodesk products like Alias software, VRED software, PowerMill, and PowerInspect can empower automotive design studios with technology to push the boundaries of creativity and collaborate radically with the goal of making better products, faster.

Get More Out of Your Engineering Data by Visualization

This session shows how to get more of your Inventor engineering data with the powerful visualization of VRED software.

Conceptual Shoe Design Using Alias, Dynamo, and VRED

This one-hour demo shows the design of a track shoe from sketch to render. We will show the process of sketching in Sketchbook, bringing the work into Alias software, and finishing with photorealistic marketing-level renderings.

Rendering Freedom—One Data Set to Serve Offline and Real-Time Rendering, XR, and Mobile

This session talks about VRED as the master model and how you can import several things into VRED and render and visualize it in different ways, leveraging the software.

VRED and Adobe Substance Material

This session talks about VRED and Substance materials.

Physical Accurate Rendering in Real-Time

This session covers how to achieve physical accurate rendering in real-time with VRED. We address the technical background, our path toward this goal, what is needed to achieve it, and why this is important for the automotive and other industries.

Real-Time Design Review and Configuration

This session introduces VRED software to new users within automotive, industrial/product design, engineering, visualization, and digital marketing. Starting from the initial data import, we will guide you through the process of achieving a detailed design review and configurator for presentations. Along the way, we will discuss materials, camera, lights, shadows, configuring variants, and more.
