As with the previous contest, the winner stands to win a tricked out iPad plus a signed (by Carl Bass, Autodesk's CEO) copy of 3ds Max or 3ds Max Design. See Scott's blog for details. The deadline for this competition is Guy Fawkes Night, November 5th. Apparently the iPad is one of a kind, but […]

I just thought I'd report back on a few changes made to the BrowsePhotosynth Plugin of the Month during the course of this week. The updated version has just been announced on Scott Sheppard's blog and I thought I'd share some of the specific implementation details. The first one (in the 1.0.1 update) was a […]

Just back from a great little break: yesterday we drove across and spent the day at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Luzern (more on that in a bit), before having dinner at the Rathaus Brauerie opposite the Kapellbrucke. Then we spent the night at the Hotel Bellevue, a very friendly hotel near the edge […]

In this previous post I attempted to capture the geometry of a monument close to my home with approximately 500 photographs imported into Photosynth (and October's Plugin of Month to bring it into AutoCAD, of course :-). As promised in that post, I managed to find time this weekend to go back down with a […]

Many of you will have seen previous incarnations of this tool, during its development. It's a little more complex than most of our other monthly plugins – mostly as it depends on a couple of external components – but the functionality should hopefully be simple enough to understand and use.

As part of my preparation for a class I'm presenting at AU, Point Clouds on a Shoestring (AC427-4), I bought myself a new toy a couple of weeks ago: an Eye-Fi Pro X2 memory card. This very cool little device is much more than a high capacity SD card: it has an in-built Wi-Fi chip […]

I've talked about the Photo Scene Editor tool a few times (on this blog and in a DevCast), so hopefully you're already familiar with the capabilities of this fun product. This is really just to let you know that the Autodesk Labs team is running a competition that ends in a couple of weeks, on […]

The class catalogs for AU 2010 – for both the physical and virtual classes – have now been posted to the AU website: I have a few AU classes scheduled – thanks to any of you who took the time to vote for them. My first class is virtual… Getting to Know the AutoCAD® Plugins […]

A couple of weekends ago, shortly after returning from our trip to the States, I walked down to the area of Lake Neuchâtel that's nearest our house, called La Tène (which is now also the name of our local commune (or municipality), which was recently created as a result of fusing Marin-Epagnier with Thielle-Wavre… thankfully […]

Some of you may have seen the point cloud tool for 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design posted on Autodesk Labs. This plugin currently works with points defined in an ASCII format, although I expect in time it will support similar formats to those supported by AutoCAD. In case you're interested in bringing point cloud […]
