  • A picture is worth a thousand words, so whatever your feelings about infographics this must be worth at least a hundred. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Lots of people are participating in the previously announced Exchange Apps Portathon. You have 3 weeks until it starts, so it's a good time to consider joining the fun. Here's a note from […]

  • After taking a look at Project Memento, last week, using it to manipulate a mesh I'd previously created with ReCap Photo, I decided to try out the latest update to the latter of these two tools. The first thing to notice with this new, improved version of ReCap Photo is that it has its own […]

  • This morning I went back to look at Project Memento, with a view to using it to trim down a model I captured using ReCap Photo. I started with the model of the Morgan 3 Wheeler shown in this previous post. The first thing you'll notice when launching Project Memento is the modern, chrome-free user […]

  • Another bit of news from while I was out on vacation โ€“ so my apologies if this is old news for you, personally โ€“ the ADN team is running a Portathon on September 13-14, 2013 to encourage developers to get their apps posted on Autodesk Exchange. You do not have to be an ADN member […]

  • In case you missed it, last week Scott Sheppard announced the availability of a new version of DesignScript on Autodesk Labs. This release unveils DesignScript Studio which brings a visual programming environment to the DesignScript language. People who are familiar with Rhino Grasshopper or SoftImage's ICE will be aware of the benefits of working with […]

  • I've now finished my recent trio of long-haul trips: the San Francisco Bay Area in late April, Singapore in mid-May and Boston in early June. So I can take a breather for a few weeks (maybe even months), at least: I have no firm travel plans until AU, although no doubt something will come up […]

  • This isn't new news โ€“ it was announced a few weeks ago at NetSuite's SuiteWorld 2013 event โ€“ but I thought I'd mention it here mainly because of a personal connection of mine. The announcement was regarding a broad strategic alliance between Autodesk and NetSuite, as well as a specific technology integration between PLM 360 […]

  • The ADN team has announced a free webinar (and free to all, not just to ADN members) on "How developers can ride and profit from the adoption wave of Autodesk Exchange Apps", being held on June 13th, 2013. We've all seen how mobile-focused marketplaces such as Apple's App Store and Google Play have revolutionised the […]

  • You're hopefully by now familiar with 123D Catch โ€“ a technology I've talked about before, a consumer-focused tool for reconstructing 3D models from photos โ€“ but Autodesk is also providing a professional-grade version of the system on Autodesk 360 called Autodesk ReCap Photo. To get access to the trial version of this tool, simply log […]

  • I arrived yesterday morning in Singapore, coming in on a Singapore Airlines A380 from Zurich. It was a great flight, as far as long-hauls in economy go: comfortable seats with a great choice of films to watch (my favourite on this leg being "The Cloud Atlas", an excellent adaptation of a brilliant novel lent to […]
