Webinars: Autodesk – Virtual Design Workflow in Automotive

The second complimentary Webinar from Autodesk, entitled ‘Virtual Design Workflow in Automotive', has taken place, led by Industry Specialist for Technical Surfacing/Styling Uwe Rossbacher.

The design process in the automotive industry focused on virtual models/techniques along with physical 3D models. Each OEM tries to balance both processes in order to get the optimum in efficiency and styling quality.

This webinar introduced a combination of virtual techniques and physical 3D models. When it comes to virtual techniques in automotive design, there is free modeling in the concept phase, Class A modeling, NURBS modeling and the idea of virtual clay. 

These techniques were introduced in order to provide an understanding of the possibilities, meaning the audience came away with an knowledge of how to learn, utilize and implement these virtual shaping techniques.
