A63J1-WW2859-T981 Autodesk Alias 2018

OVERVIEW:

Alias Concept supports concept communication, design modelling, fast concept modelling, technical surfacing, reverse engineering, real-time design visualization, and engineering development collaboration.

Features:

• Sketching and illustration tools - Draw and edit with integrated tools. Capture lines, circles, and ellipses with predictive strokes, and more.
• Flexible product modelling - Fast, repeatable, curve-based modelling tools let you directly edit and sculpt 3D models.
• Fast concept modelling overview - Walk through a fast concept model workflow, from sketch to final concept model.
• Downstream use of model - Move your data easily between Alias and VRED software.
• Improved colour assignment for layers - Random custom colour assignments for layers and layer folders.
• Customized clutch keys - Define clutch key assignments.
• View options in Curve Planarize - Add view options in the Curve Planarize.
• Surface fillet improvements - Add the option of Inter Continuity and Inter Tangent Angle checking in surface fillets.
• New options in Skin tool - Add the Shape option in the Skin 2012 tool to control the CV layout of the Skin surface section.
• Variable degree surface fillets - You have the ability to have a variable degree in fillet surfaces.
• Interface enhancements - Improvements for the latest release include customizable keyboard controls, snapping, marking menus, and more.
• Dynamic shape modelling - Quickly manipulate your product model and explore shape variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry.
• 3D sculpting - 3D sculpt surfaces by directly adjusting surface control vertices. Use curve-based tools, direct modelling, and more.
• Mesh-like modelling for 3D sculpting - Use push-and-pull techniques to conceptualize models—without needing to develop spline surfaces.
• Concept exploration - Explore concepts to create revisions quickly.
• Better theoretical and feature lines - Control the shape of your product to follow a curve.
• Nondestructive detailing - Cut, separate, and add detail to your design without affecting the sculpted form.
• Rendering and material management - Use real-time raytracing and assign materials directly within Alias.
• Deck seam - Deck seam (similar to a flat fell seam) has been added to the Stitch and Seam tool.
• Mathematically precise surface creation - Access tools that help you create mathematical shapes. For example, control pitch with the Revolve tool, and more.
• Multi blend tool - Make smooth transitions between surfaces.
• Lightray effects and reflections - Study your surfaces in a virtual lighting studio with the Light Tunnel tool.
• Automatic arrays of shapes - Simplify uniform and non-uniform objects, using arrays. Create arrays of lines and surfaces in 2D and 3D.
• Stitches and seams - Automatically create stitches and seams.
• Surface chain select tool - Select a chain of surfaces with one pick.
• Shading in clay - Temporarily change your shaders to a clay material. When you're finished, your model goes back to its original form.
• Isophotes for surface flow - Reveal design motion and underlying shape—for example, the movement of sand or the shape of snow on a mountain.
