Autodesk’s Technical Specialist Daniel Wright, also known on YouTube as “Alias Guy,” created an overview video about how ShotGrid can be used in automotive design, and how it can help solve common challenges for users in the studio.
Key Focus: Common problems for design teams
This video covers the solutions to common problems key personas, modelling teams (CAS, Class-A & Clay) and visualization teams face every day.
It also provides an example workflow for a design studio to follow when getting started with ShotGrid. During this example where the team creates a shifter knob, Daniel shows how easily you can create Projects and Tasks in ShotGrid, and how quickly you can assign work to all of your design teams–enabling them to collaborate and share work seamlessly.
Advanced Topics: Realtime analytics, connecting workflows
The video also shares deeper details on how to generate custom pages to show real-time analytics from your design projects. This helps keep everything on track and on time.
Finally, Daniel explains how you can connect many different workflows and experiences with ShotGrid. With its robust and powerful API, ShotGrid can be extended into custom scripts, automated pipelines and existing tools to build a consistent workflow for everyone. This forms a cohesive pipeline between multiple tools and datasets to maintain consistency and reduce errors in the studio.
