The new 2024 releases of Autodesk Alias and Autodesk VRED are now available for subscribers to download.
The first thing you will notice with the Alias release is the new look and feel. There has been a major overhaul of the Alias user experience.
This new user experience aids in learnability for new users of Alias, while still maintaining the familiar Alias DNA that our long-time users have grown to appreciate.
Developing this new user experience took a significant amount of time. This release also offers other very useful features:
- A new onboarding screen with links to the Help system and Help videos
- New markup and animation editors for improved collaboration and presentation
- The ability to easily place features onto curved surfaces
- A better method to give control over the curvature at the end of a surface
You can watch a video that goes into all of these in detail below:
The VRED 2024 release also features updates to the user experience.
You will notice many similarities between this user experience and Alias 2024, like the icon sets and window management. Alias and VRED now share a common design language, making transitioning between the two tools more seamless and fluid.
To provide the most accurate renderings, we are constantly looking at expanding our support for different material libraries. Our current release includes support for the Material X libraries from AMD and MDL libraries from Nvidia.
See these improvements and more in the video below:
