This panel will feature the perspectives of three top innovators in the 3D content space, gathered to discuss the creation, optimization and utilization of standardized 3D assets across a wide range of applications. With the ever growing need to have 3D content flowing seamlessly across multiple experiences and platforms, it’s never been more important to establish workflow standards for homogeneous 3D assets. By standardizing assets, automation pipelines can be better utilized to convert and conform an individual asset for multiple use cases. Our panelists will discuss the latest advances in USD, Material-X, MDL, and glTF, that are helping pave the way for more versatile content, and explore the value of storing and managing metadata for 3D assets in a time when rich content is more important than ever.

Join Autodesk CEO Carl Bass and CTO Jeff Kowalski as they present today's most compelling trends in design and technology—from 3D printing and infinite computing to advanced simulation and digital fabrication. Watch Penn & Teller perform a magic trick with Autodesk’s Jonathan Knowles. Find out how new mindsets, such as crowdsourcing, enhanced cross-disciplinary collaboration, and bottom-of-the-pyramid innovation are changing the way we work. It's a big picture presentation about where design technology is, where it's going—and how Autodesk and its customers are working to imagine, design, and create a better world.
