What is the product visualization workflow?
The product visualization workflow goes through various stages using Autodesk software to deliver high-quality imagery for your products.
Initial design: The first step of creating a product visualization is to use CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to create a sketch/drawing of your initial design. This process can also be broken down into various drafts using a software such as Sketchbook for the initial design and Inventor to finalize the product. (Autodesk software includes: SketchBook, AutoCAD, Inventor, or Fusion 360)
Creating a 3D model: After you have a 2d design, you can import it into software (or leverage built-in 3d capabilities) to generate a 3d model that can be used among an environment to add components such as lighting, textures, etc. (Autodesk software includes: 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Inventor, or Fusion 360)
Final Animation & Rendering: Put the final touches on your product visualization by applying animations, composing view angles, and ultimately producing a high-quality render of the digital asset in the desired output format. (Autodesk software includes: 3ds Max or Arnold)
