Autodesk Research has launched a new app via Autodesk Labs called Project Draco. Here's a description of this innovative tool: Draco is an iPad app from Autodesk Research that makes animation as easy as sketching, without the complications of timelines, scripting, and key-framing.

I'm excited to announce the newest member of the Autodesk product portfolio, Autodesk SoCap. The term "SoCap" stands for "Software Capture", in much the same way as ReCap stands for "Reality Capture". SoCap is a tool that helps you capture existing software behaviour as code, just as ReCap helps you capture a 3D scene as […]

Every so often I get an attack of nostalgia for the early days of personal computing. The latest bout was triggered by the discovery of an app called Retrospecs, an iOS-based image processing app that transforms photos to use the colour palettes of 8- and 16-bit computers. The latest release – v1.7 – supports the […]

I was happy to see Scott's announcement that a tool I'd seen demoed back at AU – and during my recent trip to Israel – has now been published to the iOS App Store (even if it's really a Labs release, at this stage). It was developed by the Applied Research group in our Tel […]

A few weeks ago, we looked at using PointCloud Browser to visualize simple spherical primitives brought down from a web-service, as well as creating a simple AR game to obliterate them. Visualizing (and popping) spheres is all well and good, but clearly it'd ultimately be much more interesting to visualize more complex objects in an […]

This week has so far had an AU theme to it, just as last week we talked exclusively about Leap Motion and AutoCAD. Perhaps I'm sub-consciously shifting this blog to a weekly-themed format? Hmm. Like many of you, I'm sure, I received an email over the weekend to let me know that the recorded sessions […]

After introducing the topic – as well as creating our basic, local web-service – in the last post, today we're going to publish our MVC 4 Web API application to the cloud and see it working from a number of different client environments. Preparing to publish to Azure Now that we're ready to publish to […]

I finally managed to wrap-up my AU material over the weekend. Here's the first part of the handout for my Windows 8-related session (if you log in with your AU account, you'll be able to access the accompanying presentation and sample project). This is an "intermediate" class (rather than "advanced"), so at times it may […]

I'm hopefully sunning myself on the beaches of Brittany, at this point, but here's some information that Mikako Harada kindly brought to my attention. Adam Nagy has put together a fantastic series of posts on the AEC DevBlog that I think will be of general interest: Revit model viewer for iOS – part 1 Revit […]
