ANNEX TECHNOLOGY LTD.The Standard for Automotive DesignUsed throughout the world by all leading automotive manufacturers, Alias AutoStudio is the industry standard for automotive design and styling.AutoStudio allows transportation designers both freedom and flexibility for total creativity, and the precision and accuracy of CAD software.
This is the industry's best technology for designing, 3D modeling, rendering and engineering integration.AutoStudio provides a comprehensive suite of tools that enable complete integration throughout the entire shape definition process, from concept sketches through Class-A surfacing.AutoStudio DeliversEfficient, Intuitive User InterfaceAlias is a world leader in user interface design. An intuitive UI speeds workflow for experienced users and accelerates the learning curve for new users. Patented marking-menu technology uses context sensitive gestures to select commands without looking away from the design and to work much faster than with conventional menus.
Many aspects of the UI such as hot-keys, tool shelves and marking menus can be customized to suit the demands of a particular project or an individual user’s preferred workflow.High Quality + Performance Sketching ToolsAutoStudio is much more than a 3D modeling tool. Unique, integrated sketching tools enable designers to use their drawing skills throughout the design process. AutoStudio includes a complete set of familiar tools such as Pencils, Paintbrushes, Airbrushes, Markers, Erasers, and editing brushes like Clone, Blur, Sharpen, Smear and Texture for sketching, painting and illustrating. These features save time because designers don’t have to switch to another application such as PhotoShop or sketch on paper and then scan the image.
Digital sketching has other advantages over traditional methods such as Undo, Erase and multiple layers.Image ManipulationDesign-focused image manipulation tools make it possible to change the shape and color of sketches and images without switching to another application. Color adjustment tools are provided for easy changes to color balance, brightness and contrast, color saturation and value. All or parts of an image can now be deformed to experiment with shape or adjust the image of, for example, a headlamp, to fit inside a new front end concept.2D/3D IntegrationIntegrated 2D sketching in a 3D environment. This unique functionality allows designers to use their sketching skills throughout the design process. Sketches can be oriented in 3D space as modeling references and to evaluate form. Used with "Project Sketch", this powerful concept design feature allows details to be quickly sketched over 3D models and evaluated before taking the time to model them. Designers can:
"sketch what is hard to model and model what is hard to sketch".
Concept ModelingIndustry leading modeling tools are capable of rapid and flexible concept modeling. Symmetrical models can be created - allowing designers to work on one half of a design while viewing the whole model.Production and Class-A SurfacingThe most advanced surfacing technology for the efficient creation of Class-A surfaces that meet the highest standards of quality. Aesthetic free-form surface creation in AutoStudio using either a procedural (curve-based), direct (cv tugging), or a hybrid modeling approach.Construction HistoryAutoStudio curve and surface-creation tools provide the option of saving the build history allowing users to edit any of the original data and have the model automatically update, integrating the design changes.
This feature provides the flexibility to make changes throughout the design process while keeping tight deadlines.Reverse EngineeringHigh performance handling of data from 3D scanners for visualization and reverse engineering. Efficient tools to extract and evaluate shape information from scan data to update existing digital models or create new surface models.Real-Time VisualizationRealistic real-time display of 3D models with textures, transparency and shadows provides immediate visual feedback when evaluating surface quality and design form. Allows immediate evaluation and visualization without software rendering.
Photo-Realistic RenderingCreate renderings for presentation. The photorealistic rendering capabilities create images convincing enough to be reproduced directly into print, video or interactive media. Many products have a renderer; few provide more control over critical features such as highlights, reflections and true color.Rapid PrototypingSTL file export enables the user to output models in STL format for the creation of prototypes on a Stereo Lithography IGES or STEP output is available for CNC machines.Data ExchangeSupport for industry standard data formats so that data can be shared with other software packages using neutral file formats such as STEP, IGES, VDA/FS, VDA/IS, DES, DXF and more. Share files with products such as Pro/E using Granite™. Optional Direct Connect products are available for CATIA®, Unigraphics® and I-DEAS.
