Industrial design and Class-A surfacing software
Alias® industrial design software provides sketching, concept modeling, surfacing, and visualization tools for industrial, product, and automotive design.
What's new
Virtual reality with Alias
Enhance design reviews with virtual reality. Explore your design to scale using an HMD in VR.
Photoshop live link
Sketches from Photoshop can be linked to Alias. Changes to sketches are dynamically updated in Alias.
Computational design in Alias
Quickly generate complex repeatable patterns and enable rapid design iterations and exploration.
Marking Menu editor
More easily customize Marking Menus with a new selection of styles.
Design model share
Design and collaborate on a single Alias model in the cloud. Review, mark up, and collaborate via the web and on portable devices.
Offset tool
Offset command ensures that offset CV layout quality is maintained, enabling a semi-automated, time-saving workflow.
Look around feature
Fly to a point of interest immediately; enable immediate navigation to a point in the design.
Canvas pivot function
Manipulate Canvas layers like any other geometry type—scale, snap, and pivot images in real time.
Performance improvements
Multithreading implemented for File I/O for Alias reduces File Open and Save times by an order of 3.
Concept design and fast concept modeling
Fast concept modeling overview
Walk through a fast concept model workflow, from sketch to final concept model.
Downstream use of model
Move your data easily between Alias and VRED software.
Photoshop live link
Sketches from Photoshop can be linked to Alias. Changes to sketches are dynamically updated in Alias.
Look around
Fly to a point of interest immediately; enable immediate navigation to a point in the design.
Mesh-like modeling for 3D sculpting
Use push-and-pull techniques to conceptualize models—without needing to develop spline surfaces.
Concept exploration
Explore concepts to create revisions quickly.
Better theoretical and feature lines
Control the shape of your product to follow a curve.
Nondestructive detailing
Cut, separate, and add detail to your design without affecting the sculpted form.
Rendering and material management
Use real-time raytracing and assign materials directly within Alias.
