Visualizing and Collaborating with Unreal Engine in AEC
You have worked hard to create your AEC designs, but what if you could actually walk through them, see every detail in real-time, and collaborate with your team, no matter where they are? That is what this workshop is all about. Join us on January 16, 2025, for a hands-on session where you'll learn to convert Revit files into interactive 3D experiences using Unreal Engine and pixel stream them to VR headsets for a multi-user, collaborative experience. This isn't theory; it's practical, real-world skills you can take back to your projects the very next day.
Who should attend?
This event is a must-attend for architects, engineers, and construction professionals actively leveraging Unreal Engine for state-of-the-art visualization and collaborative design. Participants will gain essential knowledge on the latest methodologies for integrating Revit data into Unreal Engine for advanced visualization, followed by setting up the Unreal Engine project for collaborative multi-user VR pixel streaming.
Whether you are currently harnessing Unreal Engine’s robust capabilities or exploring its potential for future projects, this event will equip you with the essential knowledge and tools to significantly enhance your workflow efficiency and optimize project outcomes.
Engage with industry leaders and like-minded professionals to deepen your expertise in cutting-edge visualization tools, accelerate cross-disciplinary collaboration, and position yourself at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry.
Don’t miss this opportunity to refine your skills and discover how to fully harness the power of Unreal Engine to transform your design approach and maximize project success.
