I’d like to say that what you’re about to read might be the most interesting things happening at AU2010, but I won’t… because they ARE the most interesting things happening at AU2010.
You may have seen some of the Autodesk projects and programs coming out. They’re exploring the options of product development software and giving us a glimpse at what Autodesk is poking their porous, multi-faceted nose of design into. What else are they talking about? Take a look.
It’s grueling isn’t it? Every time you turn your Droid on and start nub flickin’ the screen through your favorite apps, there’s that special one always missing. That app which allows you to create abstract art of yourself standing next to a glimmering pond holding 50 pounds of ground meat in one hand and a carnivorous baby giraffe in the other…
NO MORE! That app, Sketchbook Mobile, is now available to download for your paintbrush poking enjoyment.
Autodesk University 2010 is off to a design romping start and there’s already been a massive skull buttering of product announcements, tech previews and tid-bits of information coming in from all directions.
Autodesk has no qualms about mentioning hybrid modeling approaches, cloud computing or delivering software over the web. Mostly because, well, they’re already doing it. They’ve left plenty of lingering questions (delivery, price, security) but here’s the meat of what Autodesk is introducing to you, the future of design.
Ahhgg!! the AGONY. It’s like I’ve been wearing the same pair or socks on my eyes for the past few years. The SolidSmack Logo, the fanciful one with three cubulars in the site header, yeah, that thing… is getting kicked to the far reaches of space.
We’re coming upon a new year, and what better way to sport a new look… but that’s not all. SolidSmack.com is undergoing a revamp. First thing to deal with though, is the lo-go. So, without further ado, here. it. is.
There’s been a rebellion of sorts. SolidWorks, to the mild dismay of the regular PR and ad agency channels, has gone out on their own. Not in any permanent way, mind you. Regular programming will soon return, but in the meantime, SolidWorks is getting back to their roots and dishing out a little emotive attitude to prep you for SolidWorks World 2011 and make you think back a little bit on your own roots of design and engineering. And SolidSmack? Well, we have a glimpse behind the scenes to see why and how this all came about.
