Industrial design is the process of creating and developing concepts and specifications that optimize the function, value, and appearance of products for the mutual benefit of both user and manufacturer.
Industrial design is a combination of both creative vision and technical consideration.
An industrial designer's focus can range from aesthetics only to seeing a design through to engineering production. CDRS is a set of free-form conceptual design tools that allows you to quickly turn your conceptual sketches into accurate surface models. Using the advanced visualization tools, such as rendering and animation, you can evaluate your models, investigate design alternatives, and communicate your ideas. The new materials are organized by class and type providing simple definition and realistic shading for any material you wish to represent, including complex materials such as glass, metals, and multi-layer paint. In addition to existing wrapped image functionality, PhotoLux now supports advanced mapping functionality.
