Imagine, Design, Create with Autodesk
An Introduction to Autodesk Research and Molecular Maya

As a global leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, Autodesk helps people imagine, design, and create a better world. Autodesk enables better design through a depth of experience and a broad portfolio of software and service offerings that provide customers the power to solve design and business challenges. The Bio/Nano Programmable Matter group within Autodesk Research is extending this expertise into new domains of matter by developing software for the design and simulation of molecular and living systems, and collaborating with academic institutions, research organizations, and industry thought leaders to envision and create the future of biodesign. Autodesk's award-winning tools, including Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Maya®, are already used to create cinematic, full motion molecular and biological visualizations that retain the scientific accuracy necessary to communicate technical concepts to our customers' target audiences. Students and faculty can access our software with a no cost, multiple year license by joining the Autodesk Education Community at students.autodesk.com. Join us for a quick introduction to Autodesk's efforts in Synthetic Biology and the Life Sciences and a workshop on Autodesk's powerful biological visualization tools.
