Autodesk Vred Professional 2019 | 1.9 Gb

Autodesk Inc.has announced the release of VRED Professional 2019. This software helps users create high-end visualizations and virtual prototypes in the automotive development process and CGI production.

Here is a quick overview of "What´s New" and what has changed:

VR at every Designer`s Desk

- VRED Design got VR viewing capabilities and now supports HTC Vive and Oculus Rift including VR Hands/Controller representation. Due the fact VR scenarios are usually highly customized with Python and VRED Design has only Python execution capabilities this feature is limited to View Only if your scene was not prepared in VRED Professional before.

- With the new VR capabilities, VRED Design now also supports Stereo SLI.

File Type Specific Import Options

- The File import was completely re- designed. Menu entries are re- arranged to work more intuitive and similar to other Autodesk Products. The File > Open now supports only VRED file formats like .vpb, vpe and .vpf.

- The Add File menu entry was removed and the functionality is now covered by the new File Type Specific Import Dialog. Now it is possible to set individual import options for different file types in one import process. We have introduced a list on the left for batch import were the user is able to add or remove files and folders. Only available file options are shown for the file formats that have been added to the import list.

- We added an Import State Overview to the list to give reliable results/reports that are stored in a LogFile.

Joint & Skin support for FBX files

- VRED 2019 now supports pre- rigged, skinned and animated Mesh Geometry that is imported using the FBX file format. This simplifies the workflow of importing animated objects like character that use joint deformations.

- It is possible to visualize the joint rig and live manipulate and animate the object inside the 3D Viewport or using the transform module.

Python Script & HTML5 Editor Improvements

- The Python Script and HTML5 Editor comes along with a couple of new features. A dark theme with a special coding font, syntax highlighting and ligatures support provide a better coding experience to the user.

- We also added Search (CTRL+F), Find & Replace (CTRL+R), GoTo line (CTRL+G) and Auto Complete for VRED Python Command.

Lens Flares

- You can now add artistic Lens Flares as an extension to point- and spotlights or as a non-illuminating element to the scene. This approach allows the placement of Flare Effects anywhere in the scene.

- It is possible to imitate different lens & light types just by creating simple layered elements on top of each other. Presets as an entry point help the User to get familiar with the concept of different elements and ghost lines.

- In the Camera Editor it is also possible to enable/disable Lens Flares on a global level.

Camera Fog

- Cameras now support classic fog as part of image processing. It is possible to adjust the distance- and height fog independent from each other. This is a simple effect to add more realism to help someone better understand the distance and scale of objects by fading these in the distance.

- Some parameters were added that can be animated and are accessible via Python, such as Noise to add irregularities in the fog.

- It is also possible to render the fog into a separate channel in the Image Processing Renderpass.

VR Hand Interaction

- When starting the OpenVR or Oculus HMD Mode the user will see pre-posed hands with different gestures instead of the HTC VIVE and Oculus Controllers.

- It is possible to interact with HTML5 content and TouchSensors. Therefore the collision geometry has to be registered via Python Script (see VRED Examples).

General Improvements

- Oculus SDK 1.19 & OpenVR 1.12 Update

- 3D sound perception improvements in VR

- Improved HTML5 rendering performance for WebEngines

- Additional ACES Colorspace support for Reinhard RGB & Logarithmic RGB Camera Tonemapper

- Shadow map support for Point- & Spherical Light in OGL

About Autodesk VRED Professional.

Autodesk VRED Professional software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, helps users create high-end visualizations and virtual prototypes in the automotive development process and CGI production. Visualization experts, color & trim specialists, lighting designers, and marketers can use the full power of design and engineering evaluation tools and immersive workflows to collaborate on and visualize a photorealistic prototype. Perceived quality as well as ergonomics of an automotive model can be explored through the high-fidelity rendering results of the VRED rendering engine. By moving from physical to virtual processes, car manufacturers and their suppliers can help close communication gaps and shorten the overall time to market.
