LIVE is a powerful new service allowing Autodesk Revit users to
‘step inside’ their models, in one click
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today announced the launch of
Autodesk LIVE, a new interactive visualization service which offers
Revit users in the architecture, engineering and construction
industries (AEC) the ability to transform their designs into
fully-interactive 3D models.
This Smart News Release features multimedia.

Previously known as “Project Expo,” the Autodesk LIVE experience
draws viewers into the story of an architectural design much like a
video game. With one click in Revit, Autodesk LIVE seamlessly and
invisibly converts a project visualization into an interactive
model in the cloud. Architects, engineers and construction
professionals may customize and more easily share the experience
with clients to explore on their own, enhancing communication of a
digital design before a project ever breaks ground.
“While a picture may say a thousand words, Autodesk believes
that an immersive experience says everything,” said Amar Hanspal,
senior vice president, Autodesk. “LIVE is a perfect example of how
film and game development is influencing client expectations in the
AEC world. Imagine the ability to step inside a building and
experience everything well before it is real. With such simplicity,
clients can do more than just see what a space looks like, they can
better know what it feels like. Autodesk LIVE may forever change
the way AEC professionals communicate with their clients.”
With the addition of LIVE, Autodesk now offers a full spectrum
of visualization tools for AEC professionals of all levels of tech
experience seeking to up their game. LIVE is the latest offering in
the company’s LIVE Design family of visualization tools. In summer
2015, Autodesk unleashed the power of Stingray, Autodesk’s 3D game
engine, and 3ds Max, to bring Revit building information models
into the virtual reality world. Autodesk LIVE support for virtual
reality technologies such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and other
popular brands is expected to be available at a later date.
Autodesk LIVE, Saves Time and Frustration
With Autodesk LIVE, architects, engineering and construction
design professionals can:
- Prepare Autodesk Revit models for
real-time exploration in just a few minutes;
- Integrate Revit models with an
environment terrain template to more quickly add scale and context
around any building;
- Convert rich photorealistic content
(RPC), people models and vegetation models to real-time 3D models
so the world looks alive; and
- Understand better how BIM objects
should behave, as BIM data is brought over to the Autodesk LIVE
environment. For example, LIVE knows a door is a door, and as such
it will open and close as the user moves to and through the door.
Another example includes the ability to show the time of day and
year, which may be adjusted at any point to see representative sun
and shadow patterns.
It’s possible to shape an audience’s experience by customizing
the navigation points, the render style, and even the time of day.
When the interactive visualization is finalized, the free Autodesk
LIVE viewer lets users share on select Windows and iOS devices.
"With the arrival of Autodesk LIVE, the era of delay in
producing and editing fully interactive models has become the era
of now, which is what clients expect and deserve in the real-time,
experiential design world in which we live," said Taylor Cupp,
technologist at Mortenson Construction. "With just one click from
Revit, LIVE lifts my design into the cloud and quickly delivers an
interactive space that my team and customers may explore and feel
together, including how sunlight shines at different times of the
day or even throughout the four seasons, to doors that actually
open – behaving as they should in the real world. With this kind of
ease and simplicity, LIVE should have a place in every virtual
design and construction toolbox.”
Availability
The new Autodesk LIVE service is available now to subscribers of
Autodesk Revit for an additional affordable, monthly cost. At
launch, the service is available in English only through the
company’s online store.
