Learn about Project Photofly at Autodesk University

Autodesk Labs Marketing Director, Dominique Pouliquen, will be teaching two classes at Autodesk University this year. You can learn all about Project Photofly first hand.

AC228-5L Introduction to Photo-Based Reality Capture: Turn Photographs into a 3D Model in AutoCAD®	Lab	Designing new equipment for or installing equipment into an existing site for which there are no drawings or plans available requires capturing as-built reality and turning it into usable CAD data. Photo-based reality capture now offers a flexible and cost effective solution. At Autodesk Labs, we have developed technology to automatically turn a series of photographs into 3D data. This data is then used in AutoCAD to create and refine the 3D model or to create 2D drawings. In this hands-on lab, we will have machines loaded with photo-based reality capture software and AutoCAD. You will be working with photographs that you take using your own camera or with a camera we provide, or you can use images already prepared in the computers. Working with photographs and creating 3D data from them is fun. However, we want to observe, learn how people work, and get feedback.	Tue 11/30 02:00 pm - 03:00 pm

This data is then used in AutoCAD to create and refine the 3D model or to create 2D drawings. Learn how to use this simple and robust workflow, which has been used in the movie industry for years, for various uses. You can model existing buildings, install new equipment into existing environments for extensions or renovation, capture the as-built state for construction progress verification, reverse-engineer historical sites and objects for preservation, or monitor seaside landscape for erosion.
