I love flying my quad copter UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to capture imagery or to create 3D models using Autodesk;s 123D Catch or Recap Photo. I have even flown them in Kenya experimenting on mapping fossils in remote Northern Turkana and next week on a remote Hawaiian island…
Read MoreWhile capturing 3D geometry with a standard digital camera is challenging and takes advanced technology, capturing 3D geometry underwater can be even more difficult. Difficult because of the optical changes and physical demand to operate in subsurface environment while trying to take photos. Over the past few months…
Read MoreProject Cassidy is a free* technology preview of a composite plate bending simulation tool that allows designers and engineers to optimize composite layups for complex-geometry plates under bending loads. Project Cassidy allows users to import their own 3D part geometry for composite plates and simulate their response for…
Read MoreWe just launched a new update of Project Memento, our an end-to-end solution for converting any reality capture input (photos, scans) into high quality 3D mesh that can then be cleaned up, fixed, prepared and optimized for further digital use or fabrication. The Project Memento development team runs…
Read MoreAs a software company this headline writes the jokes itself, but it is no laughing matter, and not what you thought. Autodesk has for the past few years been researching bio and nano technologies with some of the brightest researchers in the field today. Andrew Hessel is one…
Read MoreI am migrating the current Typepad blog comments to the Disqus commenting system early this week. The Disqus system is much better for commenting on blog posts and if you experience any issues after the migration, please let me know. Blogger and Autodesk colleague Kean Walmsley of Through…
