Autodesk Showcase software facilitates informed decision making on digital prototypes.  Showcase simplifies and accelerates the task of creating accurate, highly realistic imagery from 3D CAD data not only to convey form, but also to create an environmental context to communicate brand character.  It provides an interactive environment in which users can present and review designs for important product decisions.  Showcase helps users and team members make reliable decisions, locally and via remote sessions -- resulting in an efficient and economical design review process.

·     Overview
Autodesk® Showcase™ saves time and money by creating accurate, realistic imagery from 3D digital design data. Autodesk Showcase software addresses many of the roadblocks that delay decision-making in the design process, including

• Expensive, time-consuming design review and decision-making processes
• Limited evaluation of multiple design variations due to time and cost of building physical prototoypes 
• Low-quality digital prototypes hindering the design approval process
• Time consuming data preparation for visualization and review
• Design models changing while visualization imagery is being prepared for design review
• Expertise and expense required for creating high-quality design presentations

Power Up Your Digital Prototype
Use high-quality digital 3D visualization to evaluate multiple design variations and communicate ideas. Showcase helps users reduce the time and cost of building physical prototypes in early design phases. Interact with digital models in real time. Use a variety of materials and geometry during presentations, and switch between variations with a single mouse-click. Facilitate the approval of designs by using Showcase to bypass client or management reluctance to approve designs based on low-quality imagery. Showcase generates photorealistic imagery with superior visual fidelity that accurately represents real-world materials, lighting, and environments.

Make Visualization Accessible
Showcase makes realistic, interactive visualization accessible to designers and provides advanced functionality for visualization experts by combining the latest technology with an easy-to-access architecture. With its well-documented API (application programming interface) and scripting language, Showcase can be accessed on a programming level to meet specific customer needs. It provides tools to prepare, process, and present 3D design data in a single application, simplifying the preparation of data for high-quality visualization and further use. Because Showcase allows design model changes while preparing imagery for design reviews, it significantly reduces preparation time so design and visualization work can be done in parallel.

As you can see here, with Autodesk Showcase, a picture is worth a thousand words…
