Autodesk® Showcase™ software addresses the important issues that affect decision making in the design process.
- Design review and decision-making processes require too much time and expertise.
- Physical prototypes limit the evaluation of multiple design variations.
- Low-quality digital prototypes hinder the design approval process.
- Data preparation for visualization and review is too time consuming.
- Design models change while preparing imagery for design reviews.
- High-quality design presentations can be created only by visualization experts and consultants.
Discover how Autodesk Showcase can help you make informed design decisions.
Make Better Decisions, Faster
Autodesk Showcase software enables users to create accurate, realistic imagery from 3D digital design data to not only convey form, but also incorporates environmental context to communicate brand character. Showcase helps users meet the demand for new concepts and variations by providing an environment in which they can present and review designs to make important decisions. The result is a streamlined design review process in which decisions can be made efficiently and economically.
Images That Inspire Confidence
Use high-quality prototypes to evaluate multiple design variations and streamline the design approval process. Autodesk Showcase software helps users reduce the time and cost of building physical prototypes to present a range of design options. Use a variety of materials and geometry during presentations, and switch between variations with a single mouse-click. Facilitate the approval of designs by using Showcase to bypass client or management reluctance to approve designs based on low-quality digital prototypes. Autodesk Showcase software generates digital prototypes with superior visual fidelity that accurately represent real-world materials, lighting, and environments. It also provides users with the ability to interact with digital prototypes in real time.
Making Visualization Accessible
Autodesk Showcase software makes realistic, interactive visualization accessible to designers and provides the sophisticated control required by visualization experts by combining advanced technology with an unparalleled user experience. The simple user interface enables designers to easily create photorealistic design presentations. Showcase provides all the tools to prepare, process, and present 3D design data in a single application, thus reducing the time and expertise normally required to prepare data for high-quality visualization. Showcase allows design model changes while preparing imagery for design reviews, significantly reducing preparation time and enabling design and visualization work to be done in parallel. Ready-made materials and environments simplify the process of setting up and lighting a scene by enabling users to combine image-based lighting and computer graphics technology to create high-quality visual effects.
