AI and XR: The Future of Design Collaboration and Training

Artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) are changing how we design, collaborate, and learn. Whether it’s automating repetitive tasks, improving real-time collaboration, or creating immersive training environments, these technologies are making workflows faster and more interactive. This session will explore practical ways AI and XR are being used across design, architecture, and media. We’ll look at how AI enhances creativity and speeds up ideation, how XR helps teams visualize ideas before they’re built, and how these tools are transforming training by making learning more hands-on and accessible. Rather than replacing human skills, AI and XR are becoming essential tools for designers, engineers, and educators. This session will share real-world examples of how they’re shaping the —and how you can integrate them into your own practice.

Unraveling 3D into UVs

UVs are an essential part of the content production puzzle that enables you to map bitmap images to your 3D models. But what exactly are they? Why do you need them? And most importantly, how can you gain the confidence to manipulate or even create them yourself? In this casual session, we will demystify the UV workflow. We’ll break down what they are and how UVs are used in production today, and we’ll discuss various methods found within 3ds Max software that you can use and succeed with when you need to modify or create your own custom UV data for your 3D polygon models in your own work.

Releasing the Power of the "CAT" in 3ds Max for Animating Video Game Character Loops

The Character Animation Tool (CAT), built into 3ds Max software, is a versatile system for creating dynamic character animation loops designed for export into game engines like Unreal and Unity. You can use CAT to build custom rigs—including characters with multiple or nonstandard limbs—without the hassle of manually placing footsteps. Using the intuitive CATMotion editor, you’ll learn how to quickly develop and tweak essential game animations such as idle, walk, run, jump, and die. CAT also supports integration with custom motion data, making it ideal for both original content creation and iteration. Whether you're a game developer or an educator working with students, CAT empowers even beginners to produce polished, expressive animations full of personality and emotion. In this session, we’ll walk through the fundamentals—from rigging a mesh to exporting animation-ready FBX files—so you can confidently add CAT to your game asset pipeline.

Design to Delivery—Faster with the Right AI

In an era where speed, quality, and innovation define success, using AI in design and construction workflows is no longer optional—it's essential. This session, Design to Delivery—Faster with the Right AI, shows how tools like Chaos’ Enscape, Veras and Glyph work in concert with Autodesk Revit and Forma to accelerate ideation, visualization, and construction documentation. Drawing from industry wide findings about where early adopters see the biggest benefits from AI, attendees will learn the best AI applications from the first interview, through design, and into construction documentation. The speakers know not all AI is equal, and will show the audience how to evaluate AI tools through the lens of quality, security, and intellectual property protection. By the end of this class you'll be able to use the right AI capability, at the right time, to boost creativity, improve quality, and shorten project timelines.

Turning Generated Models into Production-Ready Content with 3ds Max

Generative model data—such as photogrammetry and generative artificial intelligence (gen AI)—is becoming more and more pervasive in our daily work as we visualize experiences for our customers. While this generative content might look okay at first glance, upon further inspection we see that it’s far from being production ready. So, how do we turn it into something that we can use? Using 3ds Max software, we’ll cover various tools and functionality that can easily clean up and improve this data so you can use it as a positive force multiplier in your productions.

From Screen to Space: Designing Immersive Experiences That Put Visitors First

How do you design for a space, not just a screen? This talk will explore how to think outside of the box (literally) when creating immersive experiences for physical environments. We'll share insights into how our team approaches spatial design—from the earliest concept art to the final install—while always keeping the visitor experience a priority. We’ll cover the importance of prototyping early and often, we’ll look at strategies for working efficiently on small multidisciplinary teams, and we’ll discuss how stepping away from the computer can help creative problem-solving. Whether you're an artist designing with projections, VR/AR/XR, or touchscreens, this session will cover the framework involved in building immersive, accessible, people-first experiences.
