Today you will start to hear news about a new release of AutoCAD named AutoCAD 2007. It was code named "Postrio" after a San Francisco restaurant. As of March 1st 6:00 AM EST (New York) those using the AutoCAD 2007 beta have been released from their beta site agreements to discuss the beta and the press will begin to publish information on the new AutoCAD as well.
Update: Many other beta product testers have been released as well such as ADT, LDT, Revit 9 but not Inventor beta testers.
Dont miss the beta testing fun next time be sure to sign up at http://myfeedback.autodesk.com
Can you believe it? I rendered the following image with AutoCAD 2007 and the new Mental Ray renderer?
And this is a visual style display in realtime?
Some have already started posting information and I will post new items as I see them.

Jennifer,
You can find many materials when you install the materials in AutoCAD during installation of AutoCAD select custtom and select materials. You can add them later by using Add/Remove then select AutoCAD and add Materials. You can also find materials online, create your own materials, or import objects from 3ds max Please check out AUGI.com for free training and resources membership is free. Also there is a great rendering tutorial at the Daily AutoCAD blog http://www.dailyautocad.com/autocad/creating-render-material-in-autocad-2/ and http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/rendering.htm.
Hope this helps,
Shaan

Hi Heidi-
Thanks for taking time to blog and assist our community. I am looking to take a 3D Rendering (Materials/Lighting)Workshop for Autocad 2007. I prefer an online course. Do you have recommendations?
Many thanks,
