Autodesk Showcase pro visualization software enables you to create accurate, highly realistic imagery from 3D CAD data to communicate form and brand character.

Present and review multiple design variations in context, accurately conveying real-world materials, lighting, and environments. With Autodesk Showcase visualization software, team members can make reliable decisions locally and via remote sessions. The result is an efficient, economical design review process.

Features:

What’s New

Import Filter
Use Autodesk® DirectConnect journal files to add a defined filter to the import scripts, filtering out unnecessary geometry based on layers and materials. Save time by including only the geometry you need.

Import FBX
Import FBX ®data files from other visualization software into Autodesk® Showcase® software.

Unit System
Showcase visualization software scales imported data based on the assigned unit of measurement, displaying the model in its true size.

Materials Management
Use the enhanced materials interface to manage user-defined materials and libraries. Easily edit, save, and delete individual materials. Create, delete, and share your libraries across the network.

Environments Creation Tools
Create your own environments or combinations of existing environments. Create lighting maps from 360-degree high dynamic range images (HDRI). Exercise full control over all light maps. Change dome geometry to minimize distortion.

Environment Management
Easily organize customized environments. Showcase offers a new interface for managing user-defined materials and libraries.

Integrated Raytracing
Showcase makes high-quality image generation accessible for everyone. With integrated real time raytracing, you can choose which visualization quality is desired. Users can reuse precalculated shadows or calculate them together with reflections and refractions. No workflow changes are necessary and the look between OpenGL and real time raytracing is so close that the user has the freedom to control quality and speed parameters. The integrated raytracer uses all available cores with no additional license necessary.

Support of Photoshop Output
Save Showcase-generated images in Photoshop® file format. The separation of background, object, and shadows allows for easier image editing and post-processing.
