Digital render of five off-highway construction vehicles in quarry. Two are grey with white and red trim; three are construction yellow. In the centre we see two human avatars.

In Episode 1 of his second VRED series, DGDesign Senior Designer Mike talks about his work on off-highway vehicles, including a small range of bulldozers, a battery electric vehicle concept, and a radical mid-cab dozer project.

Episode 2 goes deeper on working with large data sets, including a walk-through of how you can use Alias and VRED to optimize how you handle and prep complex and evolving large data sets.

The Highlights

Screen cap of two off-highway construction vehicles in a quarry with four human avatars. Text onscreen reads: Benefits of VRED: can handle large / complicated assemblies; no need for stripping; pace of work improved; cost to produce images reduces; confidence to tackle more complex projects; less risk / stress.

0:43 – Data transfer before VRED (think: lengthy and unnecessarily complicated) and the benefits of managing data with VRED

Screen cap of a yellow bulldozer and human avatar in quarry. Text onscreen reads: Optimisation in VRED: help flush some data; tools not geared up to handle complex engineering assemblies; problems with instances; embedded scaling; embedded transformations; multiple copies; sort in Alias to smooth VRED workflow

2:32 – VRED workflow to handle deeply complicated engineering data sets that the optimization tools might not be set up to handle intuitively.

4:10 – Steps to take in Alias that will make your data transfer and work easier and quicker when you move the data in VRED.

5:12 – Go into Zero Transforms to kill any resolving bits of history for the data before you switch back to VRED and pull in the modified, optimized file with cleaner geometry.
