Raji Arasu’s Post

The consistent thread throughout the mainstage presentations of this year’s AU, was Autodesk’s focus on, and development of AI tools. As we all know, one of the core tenets of AI development is having lots of data to train on. Time and again Autodesk’s Execs crowed about just how much customer data Autodesk retained, 15 Billion documents, 40 Petabytes of data, in the context of AI. This may make great marketing but it deeply concerned many customers as to what their vendor is doing, or intends to do to their hosted data. In the Exec and AEC press conference, Autodesk rowed back on what they were actually doing with customer files, highlighting the conundrum of desperately wanting to use this data to train a base AI, but either knowing customer sentiment was mainly against it, or perhaps, not necessarily having the EULA (End User Licence Agreement) rights to do so. As far as large scale data model training is concerned, Autodesk AI is a destination stuck at an impasse. #autodesk #revitr #aec #aecmagazine #AI #autodeskAI, #autodeskuniversity, #data #maintage #tandem #fusion #cloud #Opendata #outcomebasedBIM

We've got team members test-driving the Vision Pro for the first time, including Kavitha Kamal and David Richardson. "Blown away" is the phrase I'd use. The potential of spatial computing is massive, too. We're working on prototype applications already. If you're interested in how your org can leverage the tech, let's talk. Here are just a few transformative use cases that come to mind for me: -Education and Training: Revolutionizing learning by creating immersive, interactive simulations for students and professionals alike. Imagine medical students practicing surgeries or history classes exploring ancient civilizations through time travel experiences. -Design and Engineering: Interacting with 3D models in real space, streamlining the design process or quality assurance processes. Imagine using 3-D modeling technologies like LiDAR and ground-penetrating radar to create 3-D models of roads or other structures and analyze them remotely and in 3-D space. -Healthcare: Same here, but instead of LiDAR and GPR, leverage DICOM, MRI, and CT scanning results to visualize biological structures for diagnosing and treating diseases. -Retail and Marketing: Transforming the retail experience by allowing customers to virtually try on clothes or visualize furniture in their homes before making a purchase, offering a new level of engagement and personalization. -Remote Work and Collaboration: Imagine embedding interactive AI experiences with MetaHuman technology into this spatial world. You can collaborate with digital and human colleagues as though you were all in the same room. I'm excited to see where this journey takes us humans! #VisionPro #SpatialComputing #Innovation #TechnologyTrends #FutureOfWork

'The Grid. A digital frontier.' I've had my head in the computer...investigating 4D modeling, optimization algorithms, AI, and even gaming engines. It's been driving me nuts. I'm in the AEC industry because I love to build ACTUAL things. It's amazing how nice a design looks on the screen...only to find out how hard it is to build. (Weird how essential building is to this industry 🙄) This year some of our work at Interstice will finally come to life. We're pivoting from digital into physical, and looking to strike a perfect balance between creativity and practicality. To embrace this focus, we got some new tools! 🤓 Is this a highly digitized start? Sure. But there is still so much to learn. #structuralengineering #computationaldesign #3dprinting #topologyoptimization

This week, Autodesk University (AU) wrapped up another successful year, bringing together thousands of customers, partners, and industry experts from around the globe. AU is always a great opportunity to learn about the latest Autodesk products and technologies, but this year's event was particularly special. At AU, we announced Autodesk AI, a new suite of AI-powered tools that will help our customers design, build, and operate their products and projects more efficiently. Autodesk AI is a game-changer, and we're excited to see how our customers will use it to innovate and transform their businesses. We believe that the Future of Design and Make is collaborative, data-driven, and AI-powered and we're committed to providing our customers with the tools and technologies they need to succeed in this new era. AU was also a great opportunity to meet and align with our Central European Named Accounts on our joint future strategy building and strengthening our trusted partnerships. We're excited to build on the momentum of this event and continue to work with our customers to shape the Future of Design and Make  🚀🚀 #AutodeskUniversity #AI #Data #AutodeskAI #DesignMake #TrustedPartnerships

News: Autodesk SIGGRAPH Announcements: Generative AI Tools in Maya, Alliance for OpenUSD: Autodesk has made some big announcements at SIGGRAPH this year.  First, they are part of the new Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD),  to make it easier for artists to collaborate more effectively across projects, tools, and teams."  They are also exploring the power of AI to speed up and augment artist workflows by integrating NVIDIA Picasso into Maya. The post News: Autodesk SIGGRAPH Announcements: Generative AI Tools in Maya, Alliance for OpenUSD appeared first on Toolfarm. #toolfarm #vfx #motiondesign

Want to learn how to use these technologies *effectively* to amplify a proper design workflow? My class for Offsite will get you up to speed, learn when and when not to use the tech, and we’ll even be talking about the ethics of using the technology!

Exploring AI and Diversity in Construction with Autodesk's Consultant Deepak Maini Sydney Build Expo In this insightful episode, Daniel sits down with Deepak Maini, a principal business consultant at Autodesk, one of the world's leading technology providers. Autodesk's cutting-edge technology is integral to various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and entertainment. Deepak shares his journey with Autodesk, highlighting its impact on Hollywood animations and global industries since its inception in 1982. Deepak discusses his experiences at industry expos and the significant increase in female participation in construction, architecture, and engineering. He praises the initiatives by women-led organizations to bring more women into these fields, noting the positive changes he's observed over the years. Delving into the technological advancements, Deepak explains Autodesk's Construction IQ program. This AI-powered tool revolutionizes how construction issues are prioritized and addressed, reducing analysis paralysis by providing actionable insights. He emphasizes the importance of training AI with accurate data to prevent issues like AI hallucination, where incorrect information is generated. Deepak also talks about his contributions to the industry through his books on technology in construction, with his latest focusing on Advanced Steel. His work is used in over two dozen universities, showcasing his dedication to simplifying complex concepts for broader understanding. Join us for a fascinating conversation on AI, diversity, and the future of construction technology! #ai #constructiontechnology #womeninconstruction #autodesk #technology #diversityintech #machinelearning #ConstructionIQ #artificialintelligence #engineering #architecture #techinnovation #structuralengineering #IndustryExpo #TechBooks #AdvancedSteel #TechConsulting #futureofconstruction #techtalks https://lnkd.in/dF8vWTeX

#AI technology isn’t new to us at Autodesk, and with 78% of business leaders believing AI will enhance their industry according to Autodesk’s 2024 State of Design & Make report, we’ve been working to create generative AI models that could be used for different use cases across architecture, product design, entertainment, and more. One of our research efforts is Project Bernini, an experimental generative AI model that can quickly generate 3D shapes from a variety of inputs including a single 2D image, multiple images showing different views of an object, point clouds, voxels, or text. “The AI model that underlies Project Bernini is designed to have an understanding of how real-world objects tend to exist. For example, it can see an image of a water pitcher and understand that the resulting 3D image should be hollow and water-tight.” While Project Bernini is still experimental and not yet available for public use, the Autodesk AI Lab team is working to refine this technology so you can design and make anything.
