Yesterday I visited the Autodesk Gallery on the 2nd floor of One Market. It seems to be a showroom for presentations to clients, but it is open to the public on Wednesday afternoons. Its purpose is to publicize all the places Autodesk software is used, from computer animation to a Szechuan earthquake reconstruction project.
Of course there are a lot of architecture & transportation displays, like this organic-looking concept vehicle.
Impossible not to love the 8-foot Lego dinosaur. It even comes with a series of dioramas, also made of Legos, depicting its design & construction. Dismayingly, the actual assembly was outsourced to the Czech Republic.
One side is cut away, exposing the steel armature required to support it.
Here you can drive through a simulation of the completed Doyle Drive replacement.
This array of cameras will create your 3-D headshot. Frustratingly, the resulting 3-D model can only be viewed on an iPhone or iPad, so I have yet to see mine.
I joined a guided tour that started when I arrived, but the exhibits are self-explanatory, & I would have absorbed just as much on my own.
