Autodesk Alias Design Studio software

Interactive Shading
Get immediate visual feedback while modeling and evaluating surface quality and design form. Increase the quality of shading to achieve high levels of realism, reducing the need to make many time-consuming rendered images. AliasStudio software now supports user-defined anti-aliasing quality to add realism to models, as well as glow, incandescence, and environment backgrounds.

Visualization aids understanding and brings ideas to life. Visual communication is the designers trade skill to evaluate design options, as well as to elicit responses, communicate intent, and analyze concepts.

Rapid Prototyping
Build physical prototypes more efficiently with the freedom to iterate when digital models are used. This capability helps users develop and refine designs before committing to production. With AliasStudio, 3d printing is possible using STL output for stereolithography or by exporting data to computer numerical control machines.

Duplicate Place
Create repetitive geometry that follows surface contours. This editable, history-based duplication feature enables designers to place geometry onto other geometry.

Dynamic Shape Modeling
Quickly modify and experiment with shapes at any stage of the design process. Explore variations of existing 3d forms without rebuilding any geometry, or make modifications in real time in design reviews. This feature includes five powerful tools for dynamically shaping objects:

Flexible Modeling
Take advantage of different modeling techniques to describe any form. The AliasStudio surface modeling tools combine the repeatability and speed of curve-based modeling tools with the ability to directly sculpt the 3d model.

Design concepts evolve from ideas to reality as they are developed through a creative, iterative process. The 3d models are refined to evaluate details of the design and converge on a solution that satisfies the project goals.

Integrated 2d/3d Environment
Create sketches in real-world scale and gain the flexibility to draw directly over imported 3d CAD data to make sure designs are feasible. With this feature, designers can sketch what is hard to model and model what is hard to sketch.

Image Editing and Modification
Create variations of designs using a full set of modification tools. The suite of color adjustment tools lets users tweak colors and quickly explore color alternatives. The deform and warp tools provide the control to alter the proportion or entire character of an image, enabling designers to make subtle corrections or to develop design variations quickly.

Advanced Sketching Tools
Reduce the time required to draw symmetrical objects, and provide instant feedback on a drawings proportions. The symmetric drawing feature enables users to interactively duplicate symmetric brush strokes along a single line of symmetry or multiple lines of radial symmetry, and predictive strokes for capturing perfect lines, circles, and ellipses.

Paint User Interface
Move easily from other 2d tools to AliasStudio software. At startup, select a predefined setup to customize the user interface for doing 2d design work. This simplifies and refines AliasStudio for an efficient paint workflow. A new aspect of the interface enables users to instantly access common brush controls using a dynamic hot spot interface that appears directly under the cursor. Hot spots amalgamate common hotkey functions, reducing the need to access the keyboard and helping designers stay focused.

Complete Sketching and Illustration Toolset
Take advantage of freehand skills to capture and communicate ideas without switching applications. AliasStudio provides a full set of tools for sketching, illustration, and image editing. This toolset includes familiar tools such as pencils, paintbrushes, airbrushes, markers, erasers, and special texture and effects brushes.

Concept exploration involves the application of problem solving and experimentation in pursuit of innovative and improved solutions to the challenges of the design brief.

AliasStudio provides the tools that work the way users do, with functionality that meets specific design requirements for

AliasStudio enables designers to own their designs further into the development process with tools to efficiently refine model details and create production-quality data for downstream use. Designers retain ownership of designs and incorporate changes later in the process, increasing the flexibility of design decisions and preventing design intent from being altered or lost during the engineering phase. AliasStudio also supports collaboration between designers and engineers to help ensure that both aesthetic and functional requirements are efficiently addressed in design solutions.

Communication is a key component of design. AliasStudio provides a complete set of tools for concept design and communication, reducing the time required to create high-quality imagery for clear, efficient, and persuasive visual communication. AliasStudio helps designers tell their story clearly and effectively in order to sell ideas and avoid holding up projects waiting for design review decisions.

Design, more than any other factor, has the power to influence purchase decisions that consumers make. In todays competitive global marketplace, designers are under pressure to come up with new, innovative designs that address both form and functionand to do so quickly. The Autodesk AliasStudio product line is the only design software that addresses the unique creative requirements of the entire industrial design workflow, combining creativity with craftsmanship. It has the most powerful tools for surface definition and optimizes the design process with industry-leading sketching, modeling, and visualization tools that quickly bring ideas to reality in a single environment and in less time.

The Autodesk? AliasStudio product line provides a complete set of tools for the creative design process. The scalable product line provides industry-leading surface description capabilities supported by best-in-class sketching and visualization tools that let you capture and communicate design intent.
