Virtual prototyping for industrial design with VRED

VRED is the interactive 3D visualisation software that makes it possible to present, simulate and visualise virtual prototypes in real time. VRED allows designers and engineers to create stunning images and animations to explore, present and showcase design ideas for an efficient and effective decision-making process. VRED offers to the designer team real time project reviews, interactive tools to choose the design and explore alternatives (changes in materials, shape, appearance, layout etc.).

VRED. Visualise and verify your virtual prototypes

Autodesk VRED lets different actors and stars of innovation (visualisation experts, engineers, designers) to work together on a photorealistic virtual prototype in 3D. It also makes it possible to consider prototype variants within a specific production process. These are all objectively difficult and costly opportunities if physically realised.

By shifting from physical to digital development processes, the design review phase in virtual reality essentially enables the reduction of critical issues and production errors, limiting the number of physical prototypes and thus ensuring a more sustainable production, in line with energy saving, quality assurance and human resources optimisation requirements.

For the first time, with the creation of virtual models, design and marketing can contribute together to customers’ purchasing decisions, quickly and effectively, showing them opportunities and model variants or other possible alternatives. This also fosters further positive internal collaboration for corporate growth and maturation.

Not just style and engineering, but a real force for engagement

Regardless of the field of application, the presentation of a product, whether new or in revamp or restyling, is a decisive phase for the manufacturing company. Doubts must be removed, the virtual simulation must be carefully evaluated, and it must compete on a tight schedule and with the highest possible visual quality.

The advantage of VRED is that it allows the realisation of presentations with interactive configurations, using the same graphic data sets for both the OpenGL and Raytracing rendering engines.

It is thus possible to natively import designs created with the main three-dimensional design CADs, without the need to remodel (or lighten) the original formats. The project, once imported, can be presented by relating it to a wide range of virtual reality visors, based on both OpenXR and SteamVR, ensuring highly emotional and engaging product

VRED, the power of vision

Adopting the Autodesk VRED advantage within your company dimension lets you use as a database a platform that is extremely functional to the dynamics of the design offices and the expectations of the market and sales network.

To see through VRED is to see the future with the most powerful eyes that technology makes available to the designer and the market today. VRED stimulates design and decision-making flows; it is possible to involve several users, trigger optimisations of procedures, increase efficiency and critical analysis in the same virtual reality analysis session, without the need for physical travel.

Evolved data preparation system with large visualisation settings, professional visualisation mode with excellent rendering capabilities, high performance even at high complexity or design scales: VRED is designed to take full advantage of the opportunities of immersive and highly purposeful virtual reality.

Getting to know VRED

The virtual reality proposed by VRED is the only digital technology that makes it possible to evaluate a full-scale 3D modelling, fully captured in all its physical characteristics. This lets you share the prototype or offer the virtual product to the customer just as if it were present at the moment, “in the flesh”.

Autodesk VRED helps designers share, evaluate and validate their work and ideas through virtual prototypes. With VRED, digital projects can be converted into images, animations and presentations, in real time and in different ways, on the desktop, in large-scale presentation environments, through virtual and mixed reality or streaming, on the Web and from mobile media. Presenting a project in an attractive and immediate way is easy with VRED, a tool that is also useful for making informed decisions through real-time project reviews.

VRED can enhance the way projects are presented, shared and evaluated. It is therefore particularly useful with high-value projects or products, such as in the mechanical engineering sector. With VRED you can examine projects and products in real time, immersed in virtual reality contexts. In addition, you can visualise product configurations in an interactive 3D environment.

Autodesk VRED is used to process, explore or validate digital designs. It is also used to convert digital design data into real-time, high-fidelity images, animations and presentations. The deliverables can be used on the desktop, in large-scale presentation environments, including through virtual and mixed reality, or streamed on the web and mobile devices.

VRED is used by designers, digital artists, specialists in very specific production and intellectual fields, such as technical surfaces, lighting, perceived quality, virtual reality and visualisation, digital marketing and computer graphics.

Like all Autodesk products, VRED also offers the option of free or trial versions.

  • Free trial version for 30 days
  • Free access for one year, with the possibility of renewal, for students and teachers
  • Viewers for those who only need to open and read files

The subscription to VRED Autodesk costs EUR 3,445 + VAT per year for 1 user.

See how VRED works

With a complete and ductile materials editor, VRED is equipped with a complete set of filters and tools to offer the designer the best chance of visualisation in rendering of the created prototype, with an accelerated vocation for performance perfection of movement, for an extremely effective visual experience

1

Integrated visualisation workflow

Collaborate with your colleagues more easily and safely. This new feature will allow you to add a feedback to a DWG file, without changing the existing drawing.

Explore and effectively implement your ideas

Send a copy of the design in full safety to your project managers and colleagues, which they can access wherever they are. Assign access to users who need file editing or visualisation features. Share your projects faster and more securely.

2

Improve quality

Use the COUNT command to automate the count of blocks or geometries; this feature will let you speed up documentation activities and limit errors. You can perform counting based on layer, mirror state or scale and update it and export it into a dynamic table.
