Autodesk Project Photofly 2.0 - our experience

We have performed more tests on the Autodesk Photofly web cloud service for conversion of photos to 3D models. We have tested many other model types - e.g. a car, fire extinguisher, Merkur toy set, amphora or a wooden doggie toy. Some models were processed fast and smoothly, some models had problems with the 3D recognition (shiny surfaces, holes in the toy set).
Read about Photofly on Photofly - 3D models from photos and look at the resulting 3D models on our Photofly test page on CADonline.cz.

Autodesk Apps online store
Autodesk has launched a new online tool providing access to many add-on applications directly from AutoCAD 2012 - Autodesk Apps - an Autodesk Exchange store (a kind of "Autodesk Market" similar to Android Market or Apple iTunes).
Through the new tab "Apps" in the standard "Autodesk Exchange" window in AutoCAD 2012, users can download (or buy) and automatically install more than 100 add-on applications and block libraries. All the Apps tools were pre-tested by Autodesk and confirmed as safe to use.
Project Neon - Revit cloud rendering
The web-cloud rendering service Autodesk Project Neon now supports not only DWG scenes from AutoCAD but also Revit projects - read more on our blog.
You just choose the scene, camera, the requested resolution (up to 2000px), the rendering quality and the output format of the resulting picture of your scene and the Neon service does the rest. You can wait for the rendering "online", or you can set Neon to send you a notification e-mail with a link to pick up your picture (JPG, PNG or TIFF).
