Autodesk Showcase

As some of you may know, U.S.CAD is now authorized as a reseller for Autodesk Alias Studio, and Autodesk Alias Showcase. Over this past weekend I had a chance to explore Showcase, and 'Wow' this is a great tool. Ask your marketing folks how they get images for brochures, the website, etc. Get us involved and take a look at showcase.

I built a fairly simple model in Inventor, and then opened Showcase, and imported the model directly in (didn't have to save it as some strange format). Everything came in perfectly.

In Showcase I was able to apply different materials (and colors) to specific parts of the model. I was able to change the lighting, spin around and change materials at the same time. I was able to reposition different parts of the model. And all of the time this looks like a photo-realistic image, no delay, no re-render. Phenomenal.

More soon, as I get a little better at this.
