We have created a new online self-paced training course for Autodesk Showcase.
This course covers the basic functionality of Showcase and what steps are necessary to create real-time photo realistic imagery from your existing 3D geometry.
If you have a seat of Showcase and haven’t taken the time to learn the software this is your chance. This class covers the basics and walks you through the process of creating an image like the one you see above.

Have you ever gone into a menu and discovered what you are looking for is not there? This can be VERY frustrating for new users who are not aware of Alias’s Short & Long Menus preference. The Short Menus give you an abreviated menu set that is supposed to make the interface less cluttered. I dislike this option and always change my interface to show Long Menus. This will guarantee I see everything whenever I open a menu.
Long Menus can be found by going to, Preferences -> Menus -> Long Menus

By default the Draw Precision in Alias is set to 0.5. This setting leads to surface edges and curves to appear jagged and can lead a user to interpret good surfaces as having gaps.
To resolve this you can increase the level of precision used to “draw” the objects on screen by increasing the Draw Precision to 1.o. This can be done in the Control Panel. This will smooth out the surface edges and curves to give you a truer representation of your objects.

The construction history in Alias is an extremely power tool. It can be a huge time saver while you are editing objects in your model. When modifying surfaces it can be very useful so watch the surface change in real time.
Lets say you are modifing some CVs on a curve that your surface is built from. Does your surface only update after you make your adjustments? Do you wish it would show your changes in real time? You just need to change a setting in the Performance Options…
Go to the main menu Preferences -> Performance Options
Under the Construction History Updates tab check on During Transform
Your construction history will now update in real time.
