Explore Your Design in 3D
Immersive 3D environments allow you to explore your design variations dynamically with peers, managers, and constituents...

to validate your designs in real time. Accelerate your feedback loop by reducing physical prototypes and long rendering times. Win more business by making a positive impression with your customers, regardless of whether they are in the same room or on the other side of the world. Stand apart from your competition by communicating your designs with high-quality images and storytelling features.

Inventor Interoperability
Easily import Autodesk^® Inventor^® files with excellent interoperability.

It has never been so easy to create a presentation from an Inventor file; Autodesk^® Showcase^® does the work for you. It translates the Inventor constraints and views into Showcase so they are ready to be played in Showcase. This speeds up the process of developing marketing materials allowing products to go to market faster. It also reduces rework if design changes are made because the Showcase presentation can easily be updated to reflect the new Inventor design files.

Super Fast Ray Tracing
Faster ray tracing with Rapid RT gives you photo-realistic ray tracing up to 10x faster.

Not only has speed been improved, but renderings are also generally more precise. Ray Tracing is a process that requires a significant amount of computing power, but delivers imagery of unrivaled realism. It is not uncommon to spend 30mins performing a high quality render depending on complexity and machine speeds. Speeding up this process saves designers time, allowing them to create a greater variety of imagery, instead of staring at a loading bar.

Presentation and Review Tools
Interactive design reviews and client presentations help you win more bids and develop more efficiently.

With Showcase you can demonstrate multiple variations quickly and affordably. Showcase is very easy to learn and does not require a knowledge of CAD tools to utilize. Quickly set up scenes to visualize in realistic environments and provide context. Bring designs to life with animations and cinematic camera motion that keeps presentations interesting and communicates more than just pictures can. Showcase also provides easy features to set up design variations such as different materials or colors. 

Share with Anyone
Colleagues or customers who don’t have Autodesk Showcase can view and navigate Showcase scenes, using Autodesk Showcase Viewer.

This opens up the design review and collaboration to many more stakeholders without the cost of purchasing multiple Showcase licensees. Showcase Viewer is a free application and can be downloaded at www.autodesk.com/showcase-viewer. Presentations can also be viewed on mobile devices and tablets with such as an iPad, using Autodesk^® 360. You can publish your Showcase presentation locally or send it to Autodesk 360, then open it from an iPad or other mobile device
