Yesterday was a great day for people interested in Digital Twins (among lots of other topics, of course). During the AU 2020 General Session and the AEC Keynote we heard about Autodesk Tandem, a new product and platform for creating Digital Twins from BIM. During the Forge Keynote, we heard about the Forge viewer's new […]

And so it begins: today is the first day of Autodesk University 2020 (at least in the US), to be enjoyed (most probably) from the comfort of your home office or living room. We are now at well over 100,000 registrations, which is simply unbelievable. Many on Twitter are lamenting (or more likely relishing) the […]

It's time: the full, interactive schedule for this year's all-digital Autodesk University is now online. You can go ahead and start bookmarking your favourite classes today. Assuming you're one of the 85,000 (and counting!) people who have registered for the event. If you haven't already registered, don't worry: you can still do so for free. […]

'Twas the week before AU, when all around the globe, developers began coding, into Forge did they probe. Unknown Before Autodesk University kicks off, next week, our Developer Advocacy and Support team is running the inaugural Forge Hackathon.

For this week's talk for 10,000 codeurs, my friend Jaime Rosales kindly put together some great slides that give a really succinct introduction to the Forge platform, including a number of helpful links to various online resources. I made a few edits to make sure people could use the links in the exported PDF along […]

After having talked about Autodesk Research's collaboration with Philippe Starck and Kartell to create the world's first mass-produced, generatively-designed (and made from 100% recycled material!) chair, I decided to buy one. Well, two. As I mentioned in the talk I gave at the SDSC-Connect event, I didn't find a way to get an employee discount, […]

This year has been strange at so many levels that it seems a bit petty to highlight one particular area. But preparing material for Autodesk University 2020 has certainly been one such area, and it's very fresh in the mind of AU speakers around the world. With this year's event being all digital, it's clear […]

If you enjoy hackathons – and have the time to spare – then you could spend the next month hacking, should you so desire! Last Friday the 2nd online AEC Hackathon kicked off with its lightning round. The event is about now a week in: it started officially on October 5th, but it really only […]

This week has been a little crazy in terms of presentations. On Monday it kicked off with an internal project review followed by a presentation to a class of Masters students from the University of Southern California (it was a lunchtime session for them, so it was a late evening one for me). It wrapped […]

Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of my joining Autodesk. The years have literally flown by. To bathe in the nostalgia of the event, I decided to go up into the loft and dig through my old photos, to see what I could find. Here's one of me that was probably taken around the time I […]
