We are (VERY) excited to announce the official release of Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler 2013 R2 & Autodesk 360 Infrastructure Modeler Web & Mobile Released. These releases bring many enhancements and new ways to view AIM models for engineers, designers and planners as well as stakeholders.
Key Enhancements and Features:
Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler 2013 R2 software delivers several enhancements to our Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler 2013 desktop software and our Autodesk® 360 Infrastructure Modeler cloud service. With Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler 2013 R2, Autodesk® Subscription customers will gain new tools designed to help better communicate their designs and produce high quality, low-touch design presentations in addition to new publishing options.
- Storytelling Tools – Enables users to better convey the details of their designs to non-technical audiences with the ability to create camera paths, fly-through animations, and videos that include titles, captions, points of interest and storyboards.
- Rendering More Realistic Models – Helps users produce higher quality renderings with new photorealism tools like progressive ray trace, more realistic sun/sky models, and high and low definition range output.
- Open Standards Support – Enables user to access CityGML, the standard many municipal bureaus in Europe use to store city data. CityGML data may contain a whole city’s structure (including detailed 3D models), roads, pipes, and textures in different levels of detail. The inclusion of CityGML can greatly improve our user’s ability to incorporate detailed data into their designs that was previously unavailable.
- Autodesk 360 Infrastructure Modeler for Mobile* – Now, infrastructure professionals can share their models as well as specific scenarios in a more secure cloud environment - via Autodesk® BIM 360™ cloud-based services- with public stakeholders who want the ease and convenience of using an iPad® mobile digital device. Available via the Apple iTunes app store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/autodesk-360-infrastructure/id557267648?ls=1&mt=8
- Autodesk 360 Infrastructure Modeler for Web* – The new Web application enables interested parties who are not Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler 2013 users to view models and specific scenarios via a link using their Web browser, giving broader access to project proposals and more. To download the web plug-in, please go here: http://autodesk.com/aim360webdl. You can also view a list of published scenarios via the Autodesk 360 Infrastructure Modeler Web portal: https://aim360.autodesk.com/portal/
Here's something to wet your whistle...
It's starting to get very frustrating that these apps are firstly, or only designed for iOS. What about Android!

Hi Darren,
AIM 2013 R2 was posted as a “Product Enhancement” on Autodesk Subscription Center (subscription.autodesk.com). so you’ll find it in a slightly different area of the Subscription Center than you would the annual release. Hope this helps.

also the water doesn't move anymore in this release is that supposed to happen
Posted by: Darren | 10/10/2012 at 11:23 AM
Ahh...I see. This is a brand new build and we probably just reset the build number. Every time we increment the major, minor numbers, we may reset the build number.

what about the water no longer moving anymore in this release?
Posted by: Darren | 10/10/2012 at 01:53 PM
Hi Darren. The water in my AIM 2013 R2 model is "moving" without issue. However, you may need to get in closer to see it. If you believe there is a technical issue, the best way to handle it and get it tracked is to go through Autodesk support (support.autodesk.com).

Hi, is there any possibility to turn on the iPAD camera when using augmentet reality mode? Something similar Labs project.
Posted by: Martin | 10/12/2012 at 12:50 PM
In fact, you can do this today. If you "scroll" to the bottom of the settings menu, you'll see an option to turn on the camera.
