3D CAD + 3DVIA Studio = Cool Apps!

Cliff — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:47:01 +0000

“3D Modelers” usually fall into three major groups:

3D Design Engineers (CAD design)
3D Artists/Animators (Digital Content Creators – DCC)
Architects/Interior Designers

However, all three groups of “3D Modelers” use very different software tools, and rarely do you see much overlap, as 3D software is built specifically by industry.

HOWEVER…when it comes time to communicating these designs, that’s when we can see these groups collide.

Typically we see the second group (3D Artists/Animators/Game designers) using Gaming technology to create, well…games. But 3DVIA Studio is an excellent tool for anyone who needs to:

Communicate their design intent online
Produce realistic visualizations
Give customers a lifelike, interactive (game-like) experiences
Realistic online 3D training

And now it’s easier than you think to create these interactive apps. So what can you create with your 3D (CAD) Data, and gaming technology?

…watch this video, then tell me, what YOU can create!

Best of SolidWorks World 2010

SolidWorks World 2010 was a great event!

This was my first SWW ever, and I was extremely impressed with the presentations, the strong community of users, and how well organized the event was. It was great to speak to so many users, and meet other SolidWorks and Dassault Systèmes employees. From my perspective, there were four hot topics that came out of the show, which I share in this quick video.

Thanks to the SolidWorks team for their input in this video. Jeremy Luchini designed the Hot Rod electric car model in SolidWorks, which you can see here on 3dvia.com.

If you want to see more videos from SWW 2010, go here to the SolidWorks YouTube page.

For more information of the benefits of 3DVIA Composer for SolidWorks users, check out the 3dmojo blog or these Cliff’s Clips I created for SolidWorks users:

I’m already looking forward to SolidWorks World 2011!

Cliff’s Clips: Putting 3DVIA Products to Good Use

Cliff — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:06:20 +0000

We put many of our products together (3dvia.com, 3DVIA Composer, 3DVIA Mobile) into one video to tell the story of how users can take advantage of all the new 3D technologies we offer.

In this video, I play the role of a Copier Salesman, Emmy is an Office Manager (the customer), and Garth plays the Product Manager. Garth and I work together to easily solve a problem using 3DVIA.

Oh, and Garth really is one of the hardest working guys in the office, not like the role he plays here.

We must give credit to the 3D models used in this video:

- The Audi Tt by jled

- ScubaGarths Copier: Before, and After

- And, a cameo appearance by Tex-Rex by IsaacMiller1993

3DVIA People: Meet Garth!

Who’s Garth Coleman? We’ll around here, he is known as ScubaGarth, or “The Composer Guy”. Garth is one of the most passionate people at 3DVIA and someone who we want you to meet.

Garth works almost entirely on 3DVIA Composer, and and has been helping companies to make technical documentation easier for the people who produce and consume it.

Watch the video to find out more about the future of manufacturing documentation, “3D Communication” and “car jumps”…you’ll see.

And…if you want to see more of Garth, he is always producing new webcasts and materials on 3DVIA Composer on the 3D Mojo Blog.
