Features

Virtual prototyping for automotive, industrial design

Features in VRED™ 3D product visualization and virtual prototyping software enable you to create compelling product presentations, design reviews, and virtual prototypes in real time.

Data preparation and navigation

  • Camera and navigation

    VRED Professional

    Interface improvements and visibility in the render view are among the many enhancements to the Camera function.

  • Data preparation and scene handling

    VRED Professional

    UV Editor improvements include scale Checker texture to adjust and better spot distorted areas. (video: 1:44 min)

  • Navigation in a scene

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    You can navigate more easily within a VRED scene and control which objects can be selected.

  • Enhanced geometry behavior

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Work more easily with the geometry, promote geometry simply, and communicate your designs more effectively.

  • File I/O and interoperability

    VRED Professional

    We’ve made enhancements to the Alias wire import capability, with Alias Variants and Transform Pivots support in VRED.

  • Import Alias layer structure

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Wire files from Alias industrial design software are now imported with the corresponding layer and tagging information.

  • Simple user interface

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Create imagery faster using features such as a scene module, an animation wizard, and an improved quick access bar.

Visual setup

  • Light

    VRED Professional

    Improvements to lighting within VRED scenes, as well as support for more functionality in Open GL mode.

  • Human Machine Interface

    VRED Professional

    Visualize and interact with HTML 5 content within a VRED scene, including immersive validation of a user HMI design in 3D. (video: 2:26 min)

  • Pre-rendering shadows into geometry

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Bake light shadows into geometry to get a more natural view of the object with fewer calculations. (video: 31 sec.)

  • Subsurface scattering

    VRED Professional

    Accurately simulate the translucent behaviors of materials such as skin, milk, wax, and plastic.

  • New | Lens flares

    Create a lens flare effect for your lights in ray tracing and open GL modes.

  • New | Fog effect in VRED

    Create an atmospheric fog effect in your scene, with controls for color, falloff, and density.

  • Realistic materials

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Use a wide range of photorealistic automotive virtual prototyping materials, such as glass, car paint, and metal.

  • Powerful lighting options

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Easily control brightness using HDR lighting to illuminate an entire scene with a high-dynamic-range picture.

  • Physical camera settings

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    The Camera Module’s physical parameters make elaborate post-processing unnecessary.

  • Measured materials

    VRED Professional

    Use measured materials to visualize realistic behavior based on captured material data.

  • Displacement mapping

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Efficiently simulate highly detailed surface structure based on texture information, in real time.

  • Layered glass material

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Single-sided objects can have a simulated thickness to achieve the appropriate index of refraction (IOR).

Presentation

  • Transform Variants

    VRED Professional

    The Transform Variants function enables you to add multiple transforms as variants to the Scenegraph nodes. (video: 1:16 min.)

  • Virtual reality interaction

    Get a more natural look and feel in your VR environment with hands and gestures in VRED. (video: 55 sec)

  • Animation Module

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Create keyframe animations interactively in real time. Simulate motion sequences and produce moving images. (video: 2:04 min.)

  • Variants and VariantSets

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Present different configurations of your 3D model using Variants and VariantSets.

  • Support for new HMD

    VRED Professional

    In addition to our VR Oculus Rift and HTC Vive support, VRED offers extended support for head mounted displays.

  • Virtual reality enhancements

    VRED Professional

    Improvements include omnidirectional stereo render for 360-degree style images for mobile and web VR (virtual reality).

  • VRED app

    VRED Professional

    Remotely control a VRED scene from your mobile device when connected to the Internet.

  • Enhancements in materials

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Improved metallic paint options better represent general metallic car paint for more realistic automotive virtual prototyping.

Evaluation workflows

  • Clipping module

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Use 3D clipping on digital data, polygons, and even on native NURBS data.

  • Annotations

    VRED Professional

    Attach annotations directly to a 3D model during an interactive review.

  • Alias curvature shader

    VRED Professional

    Use the same curvature shader evaluation mode that is available in Alias industrial design software.

  • Visual simulation

    VRED Professional

    Visual simulation features help you better understand lighting distribution inside a scene.

Rendering

  • Layer module

    VRED Professional

    Set Material override in the Render Layer module. Store multiple render passes in pre-composed layered EXR and PSD files.

  • Render passes and render layer

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    For additional post-processing, export your render passes for further adaptions in image processing software.

  • Better results with fewer cycles

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    A noise reduction tool for rendering provides better visual quality for interior scenes with fewer overall samples.

  • Multiple rendering modes

    VRED DESIGN, VRED PROFESSIONAL

    Rendering modes help deliver various levels of display quality and speed. Switch between OpenGL and raytracing mode.

  • Cluster Manager

    VRED Professional

    Organize how multiple users share a cluster, schedule cluster raytracing, and manage jobs.

  • Sequencer

    VRED Professional

    Organize complex batch processes and execute them sequentially, on a single machine or in a CPU cluster environment.

  • TrueNURBS

    VRED Professional

    Build NURBS topology or rebuild an existing one. With TrueNURBS, you can load the native NURBS data from a CAD model.
