In the previous 3D wood release, our method correctly computes the local fiber direction to simulate the secondary highlight. However, the distortions that are applied to the 3D wood cannot simulate such a periodical curly variation in small-scale, and therefore we cannot reproduce this kind of fancy secondary highlight effects. The first part of 3D wood enhancement is to fix this gap and reproduce this kind of visual effects. Essentially, we figured out a method to approximate such a small-scale curly variation in 3D for wood fibers by using an input 2D distortion map, which is created using the photos of the real wood secondary highlights. The experimental results of our method can be shown in the following videos, which simulate the tiger maple and quilted maple, respectively.\u201d \u00a0&#8211; a super smart Fusion 360 developer that I need to spend more time with. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how Quilted\u00a0Maple (left) and Tiger\u00a0Maple (right) looks like in Fusion:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4123\" src=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/quilted.gif\" alt=\"quilted\" width=\"399\" height=\"398\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4126\" src=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/tiger.gif\" alt=\"tiger\" width=\"399\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And no, this isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll have to going to the material editor and tweak.

Now when you do a solve for your simulation study, you\u2019ll have the option choose between a local solve (using your computer\u2019s hardware) or a cloud solve (harnessing the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-dJolYw8tnk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">power of the internet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s why cloud simulation is so sweet. If you did a local solve today (using your computer\u2019s power), you can only run one job at a time, wait for it to solve, and then move onto another one. With cloud simulation, you can submit multiple studies at the same time, and they will all run simultaneously. Boom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a direct result of solving studies on the cloud, you\u2019re no longer bogged down with waiting on the job to finish; you can continue to work on the design in a different workspace, and let the cloud do all the heavy lifting. You can even pack up and go to the gym since the solve is independent from your Fusion 360 session. So go run 5 miles while you run multiple simulation studies. Simultaneously. You\u2019ll redefine what being \u201cproductive\u201d really means. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4153\" src=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-09-19-at-11-05-28-am\" width=\"2002\" height=\"1246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM.png 2002w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM-1024x637.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM-1536x956.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-19-at-11.05.28-AM-244x151.png 244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2002px) 100vw, 2002px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click the Solve command to start the solve process. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4156\" src=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/cloud-solve-with-credits.png\" alt=\"cloud-solve-with-credits\" width=\"733\" height=\"813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/cloud-solve-with-credits.png 733w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/cloud-solve-with-credits-270x300.png 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Solve dialog will ask you whether you want a cloud solve or local solve.
