Portable Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer

New functionality allows Autodesk Showcase to accept measurements of multi-layered automotive paint and plastics through the use of the X-Rite MA98 instrument. This “click and render” capability generates accurate, physics-based results including accurate flake characteristics in automotive paint and plastic results.

Support for the X-Rite portable, multi-angle spectrophotometer is now included in Showcase Professional. In a matter of seconds, this hardware device can measure real world glossy paints and plastics to produce an accurate Material representation within Showcase. X-Rite sample materials are included in the Materials library, and are not intended to be manually edited. Creation of new measured materials requires the X-Rite MA98.

X-Rite materials are derived from data scanned from real paint and plastics samples with an X-Rite MA98 spectrophotometer. They can be applied to objects in the scene like any other material, and can have some basic parameters adjusted.
