Now that registration is open for Autodesk University 2014, people are busy signing up for classes. For those of you who are curious about the classes I'm delivering/hosting/attending at this year's event, here they are. I'll break things down day-by-day, in case you're interested in finding an opportunity to meet up but can't attend one […]

In the last post we saw the process for getting content uploaded to Autodesk storage and translated into the format required by the Autodesk 360 viewer. In this post we're going to show the steps to take that data and embed it in a "simple" HTML page. (Any complex capability in this page it's due […]

Over the next few posts we're going to take a look at the steps needed to build the Steampunk Morgan Viewer, my first sample using Autodesk's new View & Data API. In today's post we're going to look at the steps needed to host content to be served up to instances of the viewer. In […]

As mentioned last week, I've been having fun with Fusion 360 to prepare a model to be displayed in the new Autodesk 360 viewer. The sample is now ready to view, although I'm not yet quite ready to post the code directly here, mainly because the API isn't yet publicly usable. Here's the app for […]

My friends in the Autodesk Developer Network team asked me to get involved with creating a sample for the API we're planning to launch soon for the new Autodesk 360 viewer. They were quite specific about the requirements, which was very helpful: something fun, perhaps with a steampunk theme, that shows some interesting possibilities around […]

Most of this week I've been heads-down trying to finish a sample demonstrating the API that's coming for the new Autodesk 360 viewer (of which we saw a sneak peek in this recent post), so today I don't have much to talk about. The sample is pretty cool and involves my favourite car. But hopefully […]

Just a quick post to finish up the week: over on ProgrammableWeb, there's a nice article talking about the new ReCap Photo Web API and how a number of developers are making use of it to drive interesting new categories of application, such as products creating designs for custom hearing aids or automating the 4D […]

For those of you who have signed up for the Autodesk 360 Technical Preview, you may well have already gotten a taste for its new viewing capability. Upload a 3D model of pretty much any format (the list is pretty exhaustive and goes well beyond Autodesk's own formats, but you might try with DWG, RVT, […]

This was a fun one. It was really only a single line of code but I decided to embellish it a bit to make it a bit more useful. The "task" I set myself was to open a web-page – this blog, in fact – inside AutoCAD as an MDI child. AutoCAD can now host […]

I've been looking for an interesting problem to solve using MapReduce for some time now. I've been curious about the paradigm and how it can be applied to churn through large sets of data across multiple processing cores: something that's especially relevant as we need to distribute processing – whether to cores that are local […]
