This class will demonstrate the symbiotic relationship between hand sketching (digital) and 3D CAD. We will detail how you can capitalize on 2 sides of the same coin to improve skills on the other side. Come explore how sketching can improve CAD skills and how CAD skills can improve drawing and conceptualizing ability. The class will touch on workflow for SketchBook software and Fusion 360 software in addition to collaboration between the two.

AutoCAD and SketchBook Designer software offer new interoperability tools that enable a user to take AutoCAD geometry into SketchBook Designer for illustration. The finished DWG™ file can be brought back into AutoCAD to be shared in plots or through DWF™ files.

This class will cover the basics of the SketchBook Pro painting and drawing software for desktop computers. Learn how to create painterly effects that mimic real mediums and textures. Learn about the new brushes in SketchBook Pro software and how to customize them to create your own. Techniques are taught through the lens of character creation and creature design.

This class covers the basics of the SketchBook Pro desktop application. You will learn how to create painterly effects that mimic real mediums and textures. We teach these techniques through the lens of character creation and creature design.

In this class, we will cover using Autodesk SketchBook Designer to create a product design. We will discuss the research phase of design and design ideation. Then we will talk about using SketchBook Designer to refine the concept design. Finally, we will examine design rendering. The class will focus on styling and creative conceptual designs, especially early design phases. We will bring a design into final rendering.

Learn how to better communicate about your designs based on illustration on top of a DWG™-based drawing. We will use Autodesk SketchBook Designer software with AutoCAD software to understand the one-click workflows. See how this solution also scales and how you may add other image-editing applications, such as Adobe® Photoshop®.

Most people do not think of sketching and CAD as direct partners. They are typically viewed specifically as Step 1 and Step 2. Last year at Autodesk University, I hosted a very popular class on this very subject. Please join me for this session and explore the strength of sketching and CAD working together. Sketching is a tool that everyone should use (and I believe everyone can sketch). It is a wonderful tool that can bridge language and distance hurdles. In addition, as a project moves to CAD, sketching helps fill in the blanks for development. As CAD becomes more dominant in the process, the tool is capitalized on for detail, verification, and production. This is the heart of what CAD does best. In addition, we will talk about CAD at the start of a project and sketching toward the end of a project! Come sketch with me, learn about CAD, and see the symbiotic relationship between SketchBook mobile app and Fusion 360 software. This session features Fusion 360 and Sketchbook Express.

Today’s design process and project timelines get shorter with each project. Design teams are expected to do more with less, while providing rapid feedback to team members. Explore how today a simple iPad/tablet/device can take you from initial concept to design package and become a mobile design studio. What once took a room of tools and desktop computers can be completed on a device that fits in your pocket. This class will look at the use of SketchBook to work through sketch studies.

Learn how to unlock your hidden ideas that burn inside. In this class, you will learn how Autodesk® SketchBook® Pro and Autodesk® Alias® Automotive can facilitate fast creative techniques, helping you create the punchy sketch and 3D visual to inspire, captivate, and stimulate your audience. Starting with 2D, the class will demonstrate the interface simplicity and natural workflow that is evident in SketchBook Pro. It will highlight the quality of the line weight and natural feel of the tools. Continuing to 3D, the class will touch on the translation of a sketch into Alias StudioTools and the use of quick visualization tools in Alias to output an image for retouching in SketchBook Pro. This case study will take attendees through the initial ideation phase of a design from rough sketch to a tighter presentable rendition. The workflow between SketchBook Pro and Alias will be highlighted. All data will be available for download.

At this lecture discover the joy of sketching and painting on your iPad, using the newly redesigned SketchBook app. Reconnect with your inner artist. This class is intended for the true beginner. A range of tools, concepts and ideas will be explored.

In this class, Alias software expert and small business owner Michal Jelinek discusses how he used Alias as a critical tool for developing prototypes of a personal tracked vehicle. Michal shows how he used SketchBook® Pro software to create initial concepts, Inventor® Fusion software to design mechanical parts, and then Alias for the aesthetic surfaces and for prototyping.

In the real world, one program just can’t do it all. Sketching, massing models, final design, animation, and rendering of engineering models; this class will discuss the workflow for using multiple Autodesk products in a production environment. Discover the ins and outs of this workflow, starting with a SketchBook, moving to a massing model, then Inventor software for final design, and finally 3ds Max software and Arnold software to render the final animation. Learn how Drive can help manage the workflow files, review the Inventor-to-3ds-Max import process, and learn how to render photo-quality images. Use Physical Materials and the Sun Positioner to simulate outdoor lighting and composition to create compelling images. Utilize the Physical Camera controls to adjust the scene exposure and depth of field. Get ahead of the competition by learning to create your renderings using photographic composition in a streamlined workflow.

This one-hour demo will show the design of a track shoe from sketch to render. We will show the process of sketching in Sketchbook and bringing the work into Alias software. Once in Alias, we’ll compare NURBS modeling workflows and how the new Subdivision modeling in Alias 2020 is better suited for concept modeling. The main portion of the demo revolves around how Dynamo, Sketchbook, and Alias work together to help designers ideate procedurally designed tread for the soles. Once the sole is complete, the shoe is brought into VRED software to create photorealistic marketing-level renderings.

With the introduction of the Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, an incredibly useful tool just got even better. Using Autodesk, Inc., apps like AutoCAD 360 software and SketchBook Mobile software, you can truly update the tracing paper and rolled-drawings workflows of the past. With the Apple iPad Pro, we can mark up prints, open and edit our design files natively, bring a new level of interactivity to our clients, and even trace and sketch over our designs like we do now. Whether you want to take field measurements, draw new or revised designs over existing ones, or enhance your construction management services, the Apple iPad should definitely find a place in your bag of tricks. This session features AutoCAD 360, A360, and SketchBook Pro. AIA Approved
