Edmonton AU Extension Event

Project ZP Technology Preview Now Available

Autodesk Labs releases Project ZP web-based compression and uncompression.

So why not turn to the cloud? We had our Project Twitch servers already in place, so why not use them as a massive compression/uncompression farm?

TED 2011 Wrap Up

This posts long title should actually be:
Head Scan to 3D using Cloud Computing, The Gallery, The Autodesk Book, One Man at TED 2011 Changing the World, and Learn Something.

Last week the TED 2011 conference was held in Long Beach California. Autodesk was a sponsor and showed several examples of great design and technology at the event. This event showcases the latest in technology, entertainment, and design as expressed by passionate top speakers in the challenging timeframe of 18 minutes. This is the premier gathering of the Thinkers, Makers, and Do-ers sharing ideas and trying to make the world a better place to live.
