Autodesk Sponsors VisMasters 2007
 SAN
RAFAEL, California August 10, 2007 - Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) will be
supporting designers through sponsorship of the
VisMasters Design Modeling and
Visualization Conference (DMVC), to be held in San Diego from August 9
to 11, 2007. VisMasters DMVC conferences are hosted in North America and
Europe. These events offer professionals from the design, modeling and
visualization industries a platform to learn, network and influence the
direction of their industries.
Leading design firms around the globe are relying on Autodesk's solutions
for architects, including Autodesk 3ds Max modeling, animation and rendering
software and Revit Architecture software for building information modeling
(BIM). Firms are adopting 3ds Max as a companion to Revit Architecture in
order to produce compelling 3D visualizations that help to detect problems
earlier in the design process and facilitate client approval.
"Autodesk is proud to support VisMasters 2007, a conference which fosters
the growth and advancement of architectural visualization," said Marc Petit,
Autodesk's Media & Entertainment senior vice president. "3D visualizations
created with Autodesk 3ds Max allow architects to experiment with the form,
function and context of their design concepts long before they are built.
With the combined power of Revit Architecture and 3ds Max, architects can
predict and refine the look and behavior of designs in the schematic and
development stages of the design process."
Doug Eberhard, chief technology officer at Parsons Brinckerhoff, is the
keynote presenter at the VisMasters 2007 Conference. His presentation will
examine how visualization is playing traditional and transformative roles in
architecture, engineering and construction projects around the world.
Parsons Brinckerhoff relies on several Autodesk solutions, including 3ds Max
and Revit Architecture.
Eberhard comments: "Autodesk is an important partner to Parsons
Brinckerhoff. We rely on many of their tools for our project delivery. From
AutoCAD Architecture and Revit Architecture, to AutoCAD Civil 3D and
Autodesk 3ds Max, their tools enable us to bring it all together into one
seamless visual environment. Interoperability is key to the projects that we
work on. Being able to bring different information, in different formats and
from different disciplines into a single model allows us to see and
experience projects in a completely new way."
Other firms that rely on Autodesk's solutions for architects include
Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK) and Ayers/Saint/Gross, Architects +
Planners.

David Anderson, CAD Manager for HOK in San Francisco will also be
presenting at the VisMasters 2007 conference. In his session, David will
discuss trends in the use of 3D and visualization in the design pipeline.
HOK relies on Revit Architecture as its primary Building Information
Modeling tool, and has standardized its 3D visualization software in North
America, Latin America, Europe and Asia on 3ds Max. Consistently ranked
among the world's leading design firms, HOK manages the planning, design and
construction process for a variety of clients worldwide. Recent projects
completed by HOK with Revit Architecture and 3ds Max include a new
commercial bank in London, an International Airport in the Middle East and a
School in Kazakhstan.
"The interoperability between Autodesk Revit Architecture and 3ds Max is
very important to us," explained Miles Walker, HOK's vice president and CAD
manager in London. "It allows us to take our models to visualization quickly
without having to re-model. The reuse of 3D data saves time and money, and
improves our design process."
Ayers/Saint/Gross, Architects + Planners
U.S.-based Ayers/Saint/Gross, Architects + Planners (ASG) specializes in
architectural and planning services for college and university buildings and
grounds. Recently, ASG relied on Revit Architecture and 3ds Max to complete
work for the Duke School of Nursing Thames Street Wharf office building in
Durham, North Carolina, the Monticello Visitor's Center in Albemarle County,
Virginia and the Nemours Mansion and Gardens Visitors Center in Wilmington,
Delaware. These Autodesk solutions have allowed the firm to improve its
workflow and efficiency.
"Instead of producing 2D drawings, our architects create 3D models in
Autodesk Revit Architecture, which can later be read in 3ds Max. This
eliminates the redundant task of re-creating the architects' models in 3ds
Max before transforming them into 3D visualizations," explained Corey
Rubadue, director of visualization at ASG. "The Revit Architecture and 3ds
Max workflow enables artists to spend all their time on the visualization
process. As a result, more high-quality images and animations can be
produced to gain client approval."
Autodesk for Architects
For 25 years, Autodesk has provided architects with industry leading
software solutions for building design, documentation, visualization and
operation. Autodesk's software for architects includes AutoCAD Architecture
for efficient architectural design and documentation; Revit Architecture for
the coordination, quality and process benefits of building information
modeling (BIM); as well as 3ds Max and Autodesk VIZ 3D visualization
software packages used to extend the capabilities of AutoCAD, AutoCAD
Architecture and Revit Architecture software products for conceptual
exploration, design validation and visual communication.
