What’s New

Explore and evaluate 3D designs more effectively with 3D presentation and visualization tools that enable you to create interactive walk-throughs for architectural, engineering, design, and marketing projects. New features in Autodesk Showcase 2014 help you:

• Do more with interoperability features that help you launch Showcase software from Autodesk® AutoCAD®-based software to create rendered 3D scenes, and from Autodesk® Inventor® software to create animated digital prototypes.

• Import native Autodesk® Revit® files and select a specific view for visualization.

• Launch Showcase directly from Autodesk® Alias® products and set up ambient occlusion, bookmarks, and materials into a Showcase presentation.

• Share presentations more easily using Autodesk® 360 for web and mobile viewing.

• Achieve stunning realism in the viewport. Activate stereo support within Showcase or use plug-ins for third-party stereo devices.
