It feels like we\u2019ve been living in the world of Generative AI for at least a decade, but in reality, it\u2019s been just over a year since OpenAI changed the industry with ChatGPT. Since then, use of Generative AI tools has already become commonplace.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a response to the market, many companies are researching ways to leverage this technology. Some with a lot of proprietary data have gone into development mode to create their own solutions, while others are adopting what\u2019s already available or waiting for the next big thing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the design and manufacturing industries in particular, the time has come for more sophisticated and high-precision end-to-end workflows to take advantage of Generative AI. Autodesk has been researching ways to leverage Generative AI tools in our own products, like Fusion. One of the results is Project Salvador<\/a>, named as a playful nod to DALL-E, which is a nod to the famous Spanish surrealist artist. Our goal with Project Salvador was to answer the question:  What existing third-party AI models can we chain together to deliver a meaningful experience to Fusion users? <\/p>\n\n\n

What is Project Salvador? <\/h2>\n\n\n

Our research in this area led us to believe that enhanced design ideation in Fusion would be very beneficial to product designers. It would allow creators to use Fusion not only for converting their dreams into reality but also for generating and finessing their dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to always maintain the freedom to plug in the best-in-class models into the desired Project Salvador workflows. So, as these models change and evolve rapidly every few months, we\u2019re able to switch them out as needed to continue delivering the best Generative AI experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Salvador Beta is now available on the Autodesk App Store<\/a> as a Fusion plug-in that chains third party AI models together with Fusion to create seamless workflows between the tools. Essentially, we\u2019re introducing these third-party AI models into Fusion through APIs and, thus, expanding Fusion APIs. This first version of Project Salvador is based on OpenAI GPT4 Turbo, DALL-E or Stable Diffusion models, and Vectorizer AI to support the following workflows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
