Live Referencing

You can create a Live Reference to share Alias data with VRED. A Live Reference makes visualization accessible for designers and surface modelers enabling faster iteration for design reviews, XR collaboration, or creating high-end visuals. With a Live Reference, updates in Alias, such as camera position, object and component-level transformations, material assignments, and more, display in VRED.

Live Referencing starts in Alias with your currently loaded .wire file. Using this feature generates a Live Reference version of the data, which can then be shared with VRED. In VRED, you create a connection to the Live Reference data. The data now appears the same in both applications without additional modifications. This allows Alias modelers to send their data to VRED visualization experts in near real-time.
