Autodesk® VIZ 4
is the award-winning 3D visualization solution that introduces advanced
global illumination technology for improved design exploration,
communication, and validation. The benefits: Images and animations that
are richer and more accurate, so you can better convey your design intent;
a faster, more intuitive workflow, since you work with lighting the way
you do in the real world; and greater flexibility to produce the level of
visualization you need—from quick interactive studies to compelling
multimedia presentations. These features plus improved interoperability
make VIZ a valuable part of Autodesk’s design solutions. |
