In the past we had organized show reports by product category and brought unique items to your attention that we felt added some value to the AEC audience. Our new approach focuses on problems and their solutions. The following index lists the various problems that we found solutions for and some of the new items that address those problems. Traditionally Macworld venues bring in just a few of the AEC document creating tool vendors that actually exist for the Mac platform.
Many vendors show their wares at vertically oriented venues only.
Of all of the Macworld Expos San Francisco and Paris have the largest AEC pro tools exhibitors. Here are those vendors from this year's show. Starting at the top, the French folks at Abvent were on hand showcasing their upcoming Art-lantis 4, an extremely powerful and ever more popular raytracing renderer. Art-lantis works as as a standalone rendering program or a plugin to CAD programs. They were there showing the upcoming Maya for OS X and they were guest presenters at the keynote as well.
