Go with the Flow: Common Workflow Process in VRED Professional Software
This class teaches the common workflow process used in VRED Professional software to create high-quality, real-time renderings that realistically visualize design ideas. The class will begin by opening a native VRED (.vpb) design model as a real-time rendering in the default OpenGL render method. Students will learn to optimize the model by fixing the geometry and using Scenegraph to organize the parts. We will assign VRED Professional software materials and we will modify them to dress up the geometry so that the visual display is enhanced and the realism is improved. Finally, we will modify the render setting options to obtain a high-quality rendering, and then we will create an image for presentation. The class will finish with a brief discussion about the raytracing render method and how it creates renderings with physically correct lighting, reflections, refractions, and shadows.

Stingray and VRED: Combination for Sales and Marketing Train Configurators
Alstom uses VRED Professional software to produce high-quality imagery for project communication, as well as real-time-experiences production for design reviews and communication movies, enabling a single-visualization digital mockup. Meanwhile, Alstom also needs to make sure its designs reach a broader population that includes external teams and individuals, and from this perspective, the communication production workflow is provided by Stingray game engine. This talk will describe the collaboration between Alstom and Autodesk, Inc., to build a VRED data workflow that capitalizes on Stingray game engine as an output source for their designs, consequently extending the reach of their project communication capabilities. This session features VRED Professional and Autodesk Stingray.

Become enlightened regarding light simulation with Autodesk VRED
Realistic light simulation is increasingly becoming more important to the design process, whether it is to support the design of a car's head and tail lamp clusters, or assessing how lights can is distributed around the interior of a railway carriage to support brand identity or how a room in a building is lit. This class with shed light (!) onto these topics describing how the various features of Autodesk VRED can be used to achieve different lighting effects. Attendees will learn amongst other topics how to differentiate between the various ray trace modes, how to use light simulation data and how the realistic modelling of materials is important to the overall scene visualisation

Alias and VRED Instruction Methodology from Auburn University
In the spring of 2024, the legendary Jeff Smith connected Associate Professor Bush from Auburn University with an OEM partner to explore what it would look like to team a group of graduate industrial design students with a seasoned digital vehicle designer. Through this interaction emerged a five-week section in Alias AutoStudio software and a five-week section in VRED software, using the Auburn instructor's background in surface modeling with the OEM partner's background in SubD and mesh modeling. This proposal compares the CAD instruction methodology that has been implemented at Auburn University for the past three years with the experimental, collaborative approach with the OEM. We will highlight the changes in student outcomes, as well as the implications of knowing SubD/hybrid modeling moving into the design profession.

HMI in VRED—UX and UI Validation on a 3D Model During the Product Development Lifecycle

Products and their user interfaces are moving closer together. Nearly every device on the market is equipped with a digital display or touchscreen, and companies are focusing on interactive product experience, gesture control, and entertainment-while products themselves enhance or completely change functionality. Learn how Autodesk's tools for modeling, user experience, and visualization can be connected in the product-development lifecycle to provide the designer, engineer, and decision maker with a more realistic and immersive way to experience the product.

Power of Brand: The Story Behind Autodesk's First Ever Automotive Design Student Contest
In the automotive design space, how do we get students engaged with Autodesk tools? How do we make them aware of all the wonderful careers available within that space? That was the original idea behind our first ever design contest, "The Power of Brand.” Over four months, students showcased their creativity by creating a new vehicle inspired by a nonautomotive brand. Autodesk’s Alias and VRED software brought their design proposals to life. This lecture will recap the contest’s journey as well as the students' insights into their use of those tools—tools commonly used by automotive design studios around the world. Join us for a discussion on education, skill development, and the future of automotive design careers.

Virtual Reality Applications in Transportation Design Education

Vehicle design requires the development of virtual and physical tridimensional models to translate concepts generated by freehand drawing and renderings. This iterative process is very valuable but highly resource-consuming in time, cost, and effort-not only in the modeling process itself, but also in learning time, prototyping, and finishing. With schools tied to the duration of academic terms and student budgets, projects are limited to only CAD and/or scale physical models. However, recently available virtual reality (VR) devices offer alternatives to bridge that gap, enabling full-size 3D drawing exploration and visualization of CAD in small and full scale. This session will discuss the use of VR software and Maya software for initial exploration, as well as VRED software for visualization of vehicle concepts using the HTC Vibe. It describes where in the design process these tools are used, as well as the setup used at the Transportation Design Program at the University of Cincinnati.
