Intangible heritage, globally, is under threat from aggressive urbanization and globalization, particularly in developing nations like Vietnam. To safeguard Vietnamese oral traditions, social practices, festive events, and childhood play, the project Play to Preserve the Past uses augmented reality (AR) to undertake a nuanced exploration of creative practice methodologies and considerations for creating immersive AR experiences. Central to this pursuit, the research endeavors to explore the question: How can creative practitioners harness the potentials of AR for seamless transmission of intangible cultural heritage?

Learn how to create keystroke-saving functions, delete and redefine commands, load Customize User Interface (CUI) files, set workspaces, control system variables, call external programs, and more, using AutoLISP programming language via a proven sample environment. Next, learn how to call the AutoLISP functions from toolbars, ribbons, and palettes, and learn to control the AutoCAD software profile/environment variables to manage plot configurations, palettes, folder security, and support directories. Finally, we will discuss how you can use these tricks to control multiple workstations via your network. If you've ever wanted to know more about how AutoLISP programming language can help you manage your AutoCAD software tools, you don't want to miss this class. Note: This class assumes you have a working knowledge of CUI customization and tool palette usage. A basic knowledge of AutoLISP programming language is also helpful.

In this session, IKEA will present the challenges of a retailer taking their first steps into virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). We'll look at how high-quality, photographic, computer graphic renderings are created for IKEA's printed and online productions in large volumes, and comprise the base for the VR/AR/MR efforts. And we'll even learn how meatballs fit into the equation. Get to know what kinds of challenges the firm currently faces, and where it's going in the next 10-15 years. You'll get a close-up look at how IKEA is embracing the future of VR/AR/MR with open arms, with the creation of IKEA Digital Lab-a space to experiment, innovate, and build on these technologies.

Join ACS product managers for an update on the recent advancements in BIM 360 Document Management and a look into the future direction of the product.   BIM 360 Document Management serves as the common data platform for BIM 360, and supports core publishing, sharing, approving and editing of plans, models and documents.

Do you still open drawings 1 at a time? Do you print drawings 1 at a time? Do you update the index sheet on a drawing package when a drawing name changes? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this class is for you. The Sheet Set Manager tool in AutoCAD software is your ultimate document management tool. Sheet Set Manager is an electronic database of all your project information, and you can add it to a template file to eliminate the chance for error and populate data throughout the project. In this class we will set up a design project using a template, organize the sheets, and publish the entire set to PDF when complete. At the end of this class you will be able to take your existing company title blocks and create a template to use on your projects, increasing your productivity and efficiency.

This class is about understanding human and animal anatomy and how that internal structure relates to external movement. Increasing demands for realism place a greater emphasis on accurately recreating the subtle details of motion and skin deformation. To recreate anything accurately, we first need to understand it. In this class, we explore foundation concepts of movement from an anatomical perspective. What are the different tissue types that are involved in movement and what are their properties? What forces are involved in moving and how do anatomical structures relate to these forces? What are the limitations of different parts of the body and how does all of this relate to what the viewer accepts as feeling real? Though mainly conceptual, this class also goes into specifics about creature design, topology layout, joint placement, and more. This class is not specific to any software package but is designed to be directly relevant to those who have an interest in animation, modeling, and rigging.

In this class, you learn to use MassFX in 3ds Max® for rigid body simulations in a destructive environment. Discover techniques for breaking things dynamically while maintaining artistic control. Learn about joint setups and art direction techniques to get MassFX to do what you want it to do rather than just what physics wants to do. There is nothing more satisfying than blowing stuff up in CG. Now, learn to do it better.

The Inventor software Content Center is a powerful tool that enables centralized storage and management of standard parts within a company, as well as providing a springboard to efficient design tools such as Frame Generator, Bolted Connections, and Tube and Pipe. However, to make the tool as flexible as possible, the Content Center uses highly technical names for components (ANSI, and so on). Perhaps you like to label your pan head machine screws as “ANSI.B18.6.3…” but that doesn’t work for many others. Additionally, while the out-of-the-box Content Center is extensive, it does not contain any of our specific components. So, whether you decide to use a vendor’s or your own part numbers, or you want to utilize existing data or add your own, this is the class for you. In this course, we’ll cover how to build custom Content Center structure, how to modify existing data or publish our own data, and how to simplify the end user’s experience and ensure data serves downstream processes. In every way, we will make the Content Center our own!

Let’s take a look at how we can use 3ds Max software in photo shoots for advertising campaigns. We used 3ds Max to help The Sunday Times produce campaigns for Kia Motors and Grundig. 3ds Max helped us meet publication deadlines that wouldn't be possible with photography. When sourcing and constructing sets was unfeasible, 3ds Max stepped in. Using interactive rendering alongside a photographer, we placed influencers in their dream kitchens. After putting four influencers into virtual sets, we conducted a car shoot with a specific shoot location but without the car (the Kia e-Niro release was imminent and the car was not in the country). In this talk, you will learn how we used computer-generated imagery (CGI) to complement photography, and how we used interactive rendering for instant feedback, saving hundreds of hours in production by using 3ds Max.

From sketches to watercolors, we will explore contemporary trends in the use of digital media for creating non-photorealistic renderings. Covering much more than Adobe® Photoshop® filtering, the class will examine how to create styles that help convey concepts and ideas to clients at various points in the creative process. We will demonstrate tips and tricks for animating various styles. We will also show you how to evaluate client needs to determine appropriate uses of stylized versus non-stylized images.
