Tapping a hybrid of desktop and cloud-based computing, Memento helps turn reality capture input, such as a set of photographs depicting a three-dimensional object from many different angles of view, into high-quality 3D models. With the ability to generate and edit two-billion-polygon meshes, Memento is intended to be a powerful but easy-to-use system for creating models that can be displayed on interactive 3D websites, fabricated using 3D printing technology, or employed in VFX and animation projects. With Project Expo technology under the hood, Autodesk’s cloud platform, and a truly simple one-button rendering in Revit, what more could you ask for? The experience is immersive, real-time and far more intimate between your firm and client.Autodesk upgraded its Memento reality capture project from from technology preview to public beta, releasing a cloud-connected Windows desktop app for free download. Project Expo uses the Autodesk Stingray game engine, which was released in August 2015 to incorporate a recent acquisition of a gaming engine to move Revit models to this environment via Autodesk 3ds Max rendering software.

“Project Expo is expected to upend the visualization world for the entire AEC industry – giving you a new tool to wow your clients and to help make informed decisions – together – in real-time. Project Expo brings Revit models to life in an interactive real-time environment on desktop, mobile, the web, or VR.

I wanted to share and highlight one of our amazing tech previews for Revit users that is getting great feedback in our Autodesk Feedback Community where Autodesk pre-release alpha/betas and Autodesk Labs projects are managed.
