Autodesk AutoStudio 2008
Autodesk®
AliasStudio™ product line is the only design software
that addresses the unique creative requirements of the
entire industrial design workflow, combining creativity
with craftsmanship. It optimizes the design process
with industry-leading sketching, modeling, and visualization
tools that quickly bring ideas to reality in a single
environment and in less time.
Part
of the AliasStudio family is Autodesk Autostudio.
Use Autodesk® AutoStudio software, an industry-leading
application for automotive design and styling and the
choice of major automotive styling studios throughout
the world. The software provides a comprehensive solution
for the entire shape-definition process, from concept
sketches through Class-A surfacing.

Features:
- The
Standard for Automotive Design. Benefit from freedom
and flexibility for total creativity, and the precision
and accuracy of CAD software, with Autodesk® AutoStudio
software -- the industry's leading technology for automotive
design and styling, 3D modeling, rendering and engineering
integration. The comprehensive Autodesk AutoStudio tools
enable complete integration throughout the shape definition
process, from concept sketches through Class-A surfacing.
- Efficient,
Intuitive User Interface. An intuitive UI speeds workflow
for experienced users and accelerates the learning curve
for new users. Patented marking-menu technology uses context
sensitive gestures to select commands without looking away
from the design and to work much faster than with conventional
menus. Many aspects of the UI such as hot-keys, tool shelves
and marking menus can be customized to suit the demands
of a particular project or an individual user's preferred
workflow.
- High
Quality + Performance Sketching Tools. Use
your drawing skills throughout the design process with unique,
integrated sketching tools. Included is a complete set of
familiar tools such as pencils, paintbrushes, airbrushes,
markers, erasers, and editing brushes like Clone, Blur,
Sharpen, Smear and Texture for sketching, painting and illustrating.
These features save time because you don't have to switch
to another application or sketch on paper and then scan
the image. Digital sketching has other advantages over traditional
methods such as Undo, Erase and multiple layers.
- Image
Manipulation. Change the shape and colour of sketches
and images without switching to another application with
design-focused image manipulation tools in Autodesk AutoStudio
software. Colour adjustment tools provide for easy changes
to colour balance, brightness and contrast, colour saturation
and value. All or parts of an image can now be deformed
to experiment with shape or to adjust the image, for example
a headlamp to fit inside a new front end concept.
- 2D/3D
Integration. Use your sketching skills throughout the
design process with the integrated sketching environment
of Autodesk DesignStudio software. Orient sketches in 3D
space as modelling references and to evaluate form. Used
with "Project Sketch", this powerful concept design
feature allows details to be quickly sketched over 3D models
and evaluated before taking the time to model them. Sketch
what is hard to model and model what is hard to sketch.
- Concept
Modelling. Perform rapid and flexible concept modelling
with the industry leading modelling tools in Autodesk AutoStudio
software. Symmetrical models can be created - allowing designers
to work on one half of a design while viewing the whole
model.
- Production
and Class-A Surfacing. Efficiently
create Class-A surfaces that meet the highest standards
of quality. Choose from a procedural (curve-based), direct
(cv tugging), or a hybrid modelling approach to aesthetic
free-form surface creation.
- Construction
History.
Enjoy the flexibility to make changes throughout the design
process while keeping tight deadlines. Curve and surface-creation
tools provide the option of saving the build history allowing
you to edit any of the original data and have the model
automatically update, integrating the design changes
- Reverse
Engineering.
Experience high performance handling of data from 3D scanners
for visualization and reverse engineering. Autodesk AutoStudio
software includes efficient tools to extract and evaluate
shape information from scan data to update existing digital
models or create new surface models.
- Real-Time
Visualization & Evaluation. Get immediate evaluation
and visualization without software rendering. Realistic
real-time display of 3D models with textures, transparency
and shadows provides immediate visual feedback when evaluating
surface quality and design form.
- Photo-Realistic
Rendering. Create renderings for presentation with photorealistic
rendering capabilities to create images convincing enough
to be reproduced directly into print, video or interactive
media. Many products have a renderer; few provide more control
over critical features such as highlights, reflections and
true color.
- Rapid
Prototyping. STL file export lets you output models
in STL format for the creation of prototypes on a Stereo
Lithography machine. In addition, IGES or STEP output is
available for CNC machines.
- Data
Exchange. Autodesk AutoStudio software includes support
for industry standard data formats so that data can be shared
with other software packages using neutral file formats
such as DWG, STEP, IGES, VDA/FS, VDA/IS, DES, DXF and more.
Share files with products such as Pro/E using Granite. Optional
Direct Connect products are available for CAD products including
CATIA and Unigraphics.
