Autodesk is headquartered in San Rafael, California and features a gallery of its customers ' work in its San Francisco building.

Also part of PSEB is the Autodesk Consumer Product Group, which was created in November 2010 to generate interest in 3-D design and “ foster a new wave of designers who hunger for sophisticated software .” The products from the group include 123D, Fluid FX, Homestyler, Pixlr, and SketchBook.

The AEC industry group is headquartered in Waltham, MA in a LEED Platinum building designed and built using Autodesk software.

Autodesk ’ s Media and Entertainment Division is based in Montreal, Quebec.

The functionality of this product is largely replaced by Autodesk DWF Composer ( versions 1 and 2 ) later replace by the free Autodesk Design Review.

Pi Mobility is a clean tech partner of Autodesk ’ s.

* Older versions of Autodesk 3ds Max use a dongle for copy protection ; if it is missing, the program will randomly corrupt the points of the user's model during usage, destroying their work.

The line between hardware and software is blurring as many software-based color correctors ( e. g. Pablo, Mistika, SCRATCH, Autodesk Lustre, Nucoda Film Master and Filmlight Baselight ) use multi processor workstations and a GPU ( graphics processing unit ) as a means of hardware acceleration.

* Autodesk Lustre is another high-end color grading solution.

1950 ) is a computer programmer and a co-founder of the computer-aided design software company Autodesk, and a co-author of early versions of AutoCAD, a product Autodesk originally acquired from programmer Michael Riddle.

Rudy later drew from his experience at Autodesk, in Silicon Valley, for his novel The Hacker and the Ants where one of the characters is loosely based on John Walker.

The company makes educational versions of its software available free to qualified students and faculty through the Autodesk Education Community.

Autodesk has also released a free product called DWG TrueView.

The Building Information Modeling ( BIM ) capabilities of Autodesk software help the architect, engineering and construction ( AEC ) industry create more sustainable buildings and optimize building performance.

In 1989, Autodesk, an American multinational corporation that focuses on 2D and 3D design software, developed a virtual design system called Cyberspace.

In mechanical engineering with software programs such as Pro / ENGINEER, Solidworks, and Autodesk Inventor users can design products as pieces not part of the whole and later add those pieces together to form assemblies like building LEGO.

Autodesk software has been used in the design of everything from the New York Freedom Tower to Tesla electric cars.

Autodesk became best known for AutoCAD but now develops a broad range of software for design, engineering, and entertainment as well as a line of software for consumers, including Sketchbook, Homestyler, and Pixlr.

Autodesk's digital prototyping software, including Autodesk Inventor and the Autodesk Product Design Suite, are used in the manufacturing industry to visualize, simulate, and analyze real-world performance using a digital model during the design process.

Autodesk also provides digital media creation and management software for film and television visual effects, color grading, and editing as well as animation, game development, and design visualization.

Autodesk ’ s media and entertainment solutions are designed for digital media creation, management, and delivery across all disciplines, from film and television visual effects, color grading, and editing to animation, game development, and design visualization.

Autodesk solutions for Digital Prototyping allow designers, manufacturers and engineers to design more sustainably by reducing the amount of physical prototypes required for a project, or eliminating the need for them entirely.

The Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program provides design and engineering software to early-stage clean technology companies in North America and Europe, helping to accelerate development of solutions to the world ’ s most pressing environmental challenges.

Autodesk Alias ( formerly known as Alias StudioTools ) is a family of computer-aided industrial design products starting with Alias Design as the entry-level conceptual design system, progressing to Alias Surface, and then to Alias Automotive as the top-of-the-line product with all of the options.

Autodesk Alias is often used for design and styling in the automotive, marine, aircraft, sporting equipment, electronic enclosure, children's toy, and fashion accessory markets.

However, with the advent of CAD and solid modeling software ( SolidWorks, SpaceClaim, Solid Edge, KeyCreator Autodesk Inventor, boss, NX, CATIA, etc., for example ) the design engineers may create the drawings themselves.

* Inventor ( Autodesk ) The Autodesk Inventor is for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, and design communication.

Notable commercial radiosity engines are Enlighten by Geomerics, as seen in titles such as Battlefield 3, Need for Speed: The Run and others, Lightscape ( now incorporated into the Autodesk 3D Studio Max internal render engine ), form • Z RenderZone Plus by AutoDesSys, Inc .), the built in render engine in LightWave 3D and ElAS ( Electric Image Animation System ).

This led to the release of mid-range packages such as SolidWorks in 1995, Solid Edge ( then Intergraph ) in 1996 and Autodesk Inventor in 1999.

3D CAD systems such as Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks first produce the geometry of the part, the technical drawing comes from user defined views of the part.

Alias. wire data reads directly into Autodesk Inventor, Showcase and 3DsMax and It exports into several other 3D engineering packages via IGES or STEP such as SolidWorks, Pro / ENGINEER, CATIA, and Unigraphics.

After Effects integrates with other Adobe software titles such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Encore, Flash, and third-party 3D programs like Cinema 4D and Autodesk 3ds Max

Up to this moment there are many programs integrating this renderer such as Autodesk Maya, 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD, Cinema 4D and Revit, Softimage &# 124 ; XSI, Side Effects Software's Houdini, SolidWorks and Dassault Systèmes ' CATIA.

Project Lead the Way is recommended by the United States Department of Education as an exemplary program, and is partnered with companies such as Autodesk, National Instruments, and Fischertechnik and sponsored by companies such as 3M, Intel, and Lockheed Martin.

* After producing video, studios then edit or composite the video using programs such as Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut at the low end, or Autodesk Combustion, Digital Fusion, Apple Shake at the high-end.
