Although the character-animation process has been largely digitized, the fundamental approach has remained relatively unchanged for more than a century. Animators create performances by creating key poses, which they then string together in a sequence to create motion. They continue to add and finesse these keyframes until they get a believable performance. In this presentation, we will demonstrate a new approach to character animation that uses AI to transform the way animators work. With neural motion controllers, we use machine learning to model how characters move and behave. An animator then only needs to specify high-level intent, like when and where they want the character to move, and the neural motion controller does the tedious work of producing natural, believable motion. We will also demonstrate that by connecting this new technique with core Autodesk capabilities, we can create a production-ready workflow where animators retain full artistic control over the final animation.

Blocks are important in AutoCAD software. Working with blocks is not always fun, and can be tedious. There are missed opportunities when objects should be blocks, but are missed or the effort does not justify the reward. And if you always insert a block a certain way, shouldn't AutoCAD just know this? AutoCAD 2024 software introduced machine learning to help productivity. The block-related features got even smarter in AutoCAD 2025. Let's take a deep dive into this. Like what? Finding the blocks to replace is no longer a tedious exercise. AutoCAD now offers assistance by suggesting blocks that are similar to what you've picked or recently placed. AutoCAD can place blocks in a manner similar to a recently placed block. Discover a workflow to convert multiple instances of selected objects into blocks. Or use the AI-driven Object Detection feature to scan your drawing and find objects to be converted into blocks.
