Autodesk VRED 2014

Virtual Prototyping is one of the most important steps in the development of a new car allowing the evaluation of a prototype in different aspects before it's even built. Autodesk's new VRED product line can be used throughout the whole design and construction process on a single data basis, without the need to re-do work. Autodesk presented its latest Webinar, 'Automotive visualization, new quality standards in Virtual Prototyping', on 11 April, and it's now available to watch online.

pulldownit2-5

Ever wanted to destroy a building? Well make your dreams come true with Pulldownit 2.5 for Maya. Pulldownit is a dynamics solver which allows for the creation of fractures as well as massive rigid bodies simulation. By using its technology, digital artists are able to simulate the collapse of buildings quickly and easily, cracking surfaces and/or fracturing any kind of brittle material. I highly suggest adding it to your arsenal of Maya weapons.
