NavisWorks acquired by Autodesk

It makes perfect sense. This is certainly an answer to Autodesk's need to dominate the realtime AEC market. It will be interesting to see how the integration changes occur over time.

I'm a huge FarCry fan (and therefore Crytek). There's a LOT of videos and stuff out there for the new Crytek 2 Engine...but scroll through these screen shots here:

I dig the screens that show the reference photograph and the REAL TIME image next to it:)

Interactive and Real Time Software

brownpa — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 08:08:49 GMT

I am looking for any software or Max plug-in to provide me with complete flexibility in moving around a Max model. Ideally all the control to come from the mouse. I have seen our Anark models in terms of moving around a model but I need something more. For instance I would like to move directly within a model from one place to another and view a 360 degree scene from that point using the mouse.

any thoughts,

Paul

Simulators

Does anyone know if we can import a Max model into a simulator and drive around the model. We have access to a machine in the Transport Research Lab here in the UK.

thanks

Paul

It's interesting to say the least, though a little expensive. Install the web plugin and check out some of the content.

Oblivion engine for visualisations

LukeC — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:41:13 GMT

On the topic of gaming engines for visualisations, this might be an interesting read regarding the Oblivion engine. It is still pretty raw by the looks of it, but could have potential

I've been having a little bit of a look at this myself at home when I've had a free moment, but havent had too much progress yet.

The digital urban guys have a few other interesting things on their site regarding visualisations that might be worth a flick through.
