Communicate Your Designs
Part of the Autodesk Digital Prototyping solution, Autodesk® Showcase® 2012 helps you tell the stories of your designs
through realistic imagery and interactive presentations.
Autodesk Showcase 2012 visual communication software is an indispensible companion to Autodesk® Inventor® and Autodesk® Alias® software products, enabling designers, engineers, and marketing teams to evaluate designs in context, more rapidly explore alternatives, and tell the stories of their designs with more realistic imagery and higher-quality digital 3D environments.
The 2012 release of Autodesk Showcase centers around three key themes:
Storytelling
Tell the stories of your Inventor and Alias Digital Prototypes more effectively by creating immersive design presentations using enhanced storyboard tools, new keyframe animation capabilities, interactive triggers, and a 360-degree Orbit Shot. Plus, you can publish your Showcase scenes as movies or Adobe® Flash® files so that they can more easily be posted
to the Web and reviewed remotely.
Interoperability and Performance
Save valuable time with improved ability to read Autodesk Inventor data and certain free third-party CAD translators. Native 64-bit support helps boost performance and stability of complex scenes and higher-resolution rendering. More effectively reviewing and evaluating designs in context.
Take a more detailed look at your design and evaluate it in a real-world context using new and enhanced environments, cross-section tools for creating more informative views, and a Bloom camera effect that creates surreal lighting on highly reflective objects.
Key Features
Storyboard Timing and Movie Creation Slide-timing allows you to better control the timing of environment switching, alternative changes, behavioral triggering, or camera position changes. With slide-timing, you can more precisely define the creative direction of your presentations. Also, you can share work with colleagues or customers who do not use Showcase by more quickly and easily exporting slides as movies or rendering Showcase scenes to interactive Flash files.
Cross-Section Tool
Explore designs in detail with the new cross-section tool, which enables you to intersect model geometry with a freely position-able plane or box, in real time, to help create more informative views for design review.
Patch Level Access
Access model data with greater flexibility with the new patch-level access tool. Isolate and apply different materials to one or a group of surface patches.
Bloom Effect
Showcase 2011 software allows you to create surreal lighting effects by over-exposing concentrated lights on highly reflective objects.
