GO to your utodesk subscription website and today you will see an newly added Freebie! Autodesk Civil Visualization Extension! Or what was once known as Dynamite VSP!  This needs to be run with 3ds Max Design, it is the go between for C3D and 3ds Max. Watch the videos is you can on Youtube to help you decide if this will give you and your company an edge when you are trying to get that next project!

We will be offering training in the coming up! We currently offer training now in 3ds Max Design........  cool stuff!

The Autodesk® Civil Visualization Extension provides an easy-to-use, purpose-built design visualization workflow for civil engineers using Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design with AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software or other civil design applications.

With this extension, civil engineers can create high-quality visualizations of their projects, enabling them to validate designs through simulations and communicate design intent during planning, zoning, and public involvement meetings.

Even if they have little-to-no experience with 3ds Max Design, engineers using the Civil Visualization Extension can:

• Establish a direct link between AutoCAD Civil 3D and 3ds Max Design so that visualizations can be automatically updated as the design evolves
• Enhance realism of the visualization with civil engineering-specific materials and content such as signage, vehicles, and road striping
• Visualize realistic traffic simulations in context

In addition to significantly improving the workflow between 3ds Max Design and AutoCAD Civil 3D, the Civil Visualization Extension also enables 3ds Max Design users to create visualizations from a range of civil engineering design file formats, including Bentley® MXROAD, Bentley® InRoads®, GENIO and Bentley® Geopak, along with 12D and LandXML.

The Autodesk Civil Visualization Extension includes two components:

• The Autodesk Dynamite VSP Plug-in for 3ds Max Design 2010 or 2011, which also integrates the Dynamite SIM traffic simulation technology
• The Autodesk Dynamite VSP Exporter for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 or 2011

Also included is an instructional whitepaper entitled, “Using the Autodesk Civil Visualization Extension for 3ds Max Design and AutoCAD Civil 3D.” New feature videos, customer stories, and additional resources can be found at ;">www.autodesk.com/civilvis.

The extension is available in English only but will install on all language versions of AutoCAD Civil 3D and 3ds Max Design.

3ds Max Design Trial
Are you an AutoCAD Civil 3D user interested in creating high-quality, accurate visualizations of your projects? ;">Download a 30-day trial of 3ds Max Design 2011* and try the Autodesk Civil Visualization Extension.

*The Civil Visualization Extension will only run when a valid copy of Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2010 or 2011, or a trial version of 3ds Max Design 2011 is present on the same machine. It will not install with Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2010 or 2011. Crossgrades from 3ds Max to 3ds Max Design are available through your reseller.
