About Autodesk VRED Professional. Autodesk VRED Professional software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, helps users create high-end visualizations and virtual prototypes in the automotive development process and CGI production. Visualization experts, color & trim specialists, lighting designers, and marketers can use the full power of design and engineering evaluation tools and immersive workflows to collaborate on and visualize a photorealistic prototype. Perceived quality as well as ergonomics of an automotive model can be explored through the high-fidelity rendering results of the VRED rendering engine. By moving from physical to virtual processes, car manufacturers and their suppliers can help close communication gaps and shorten the overall time to market.

Majenta Academy Online SNIPS will demonstrate how get Vred Professional to utilise two graphics cards with an SLI bridge setup for VR Headsets, i.e. Oculus or HTC Vive.
