Autodesk® Showcase® design visualization software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, facilitates informed decision making on digital prototypes. With integrated raytracing, state of the art materials and an easy to use interface, Showcase simplifies and accelerates the task of creating accurate, highly realistic imagery from 3D CAD data. Within a single application, it provides the tools required to prepare, process and present data to not only convey form, but also to create an environmental context to communicate brand character. Showcase provides an interactive environment in which users can present and review designs for important product decisions, locally and via remote sessions—resulting in an efficient and economical design review process.
Visualize Your Products
It’s expensive and time-consuming to build physical
prototypes—and each prototype represents only one
design variation. Autodesk® Showcase® software, part of the
Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, makes it faster,
easier, and less expensive to make design decisions. Use it to
quickly evaluate multiple design variations by creating highly
realistic, accurate, and compelling imagery from your 3D CAD
data.
Ambient Shadows
Shadows can be re-colored on a material base or adjusted on a part base. Autodesk® Showcase® design visualization software helps you create more realistic imagery by simulating natural shadowing. By rendering and assigning ambient shadow textures to all or parts of a model, Autodesk® Showcase® design software is the ultimate in visualization software.
Materials Management
Making it easy to edit, save and delete materials, his new interface is used to manage user-defined materials and libraries. Autodesk® Showcase® design software also is able to share libraries across the network.
Import Animation
With the FBX data format, you can transfer complex animations from Autodesk® 3ds Max® or Autodesk® Maya® software to Autodesk Showcase. Increase design presentation realism by bringing the presented model to life. Showcase automatically creates all the necessary links during geometry and animation import. You can access the animation via hotkeys or storyboard slides and integrate them into your presentations.
Integrated Raytracing
Showcase makes high-quality image generation accessible to everyone. With integrated raytracing, you can choose the visualization quality you desire. Reuse precalculated shadows or calculate them interactively with reflections and refractions delivered by the raytracing functionality. No workflow changes are necessary. OpenGL® and raytracing look so similar that you have the freedom to control quality and speed parameters. The integrated raytracer uses all available cores and requires no additional license.
Support of Photoshop Output
Save Showcase-generated images in Adobe® Photoshop® file format. The separation of background, object, and shadows allows for easier image editing and post-processing.
Enhanced Lighting Controls
Add as many lights as you need to control the look of a scene and emphasize important design details.
Input Devices
Use a variety of standard input devices, including game controllers, to control a presentation. Easy to learn and handle, these devices let both decision makers and inexperienced users control presentations smoothly and confidently.
