Learn how multi-CAD engineering organizations are using Autodesk Simulation tools. Autodesk Inventor® Fusion allows the integration of virtually any CAD model into Autodesk Simulation.

• Use Inventor Fusion to manipulate and prepare simulation models
• Work with CAD models from virtually any system
• Realize the benefits of direct modeling
• Identify and overcome typical CAD challenges when working with various CAD systems

This class will introduce designers to the real world use of and best practices for rendering Inventor models using 3ds Max Design and iray. Learn key techniques for working with Inventor models inside of 3ds Max Design, and what it takes to render photographic quality images using iray. Explore the creation and application of Autodesk Library materials to quickly create accurate surface textures. Create a photometric lighting setup to accurately simulate a studio lighting layout. This class will introduce the use of traditional architectural photographic techniques and composition to create compelling images. Learn how to control the camera through the use of composition techniques like the rule of thirds and diagonals. Learn exposure control to adjust the scene exposure and set up and render scenes using the iray renderer. See how you can get ahead of the competition by creating visually compelling, photorealistic renderings using photographic compositions and iray.

• Adjust scene exposure to establish optimum light levels and configure and render a scene using the iray renderer
• Successfully link to an Inventor model from within 3ds Max Design 2012
• Create a studio lighting setup, and place cameras using the rule of thirds and diagonals to create dramatic renderings
• Edit and apply Autodesk Library materials to a model
