VRED Core

Overview
VRED Core is Autodesk’s scalable, headless rendering solution designed to run high-quality 3D visualizations and simulations without a traditional user interface. Typically used in server-based or automated workflows, VRED Core enables businesses to generate interactive, photorealistic renderings, perform batch operations, and power real-time streaming experiences. By focusing on command-line or API-driven workflows, VRED Core helps teams automate repetitive visualization tasks and integrate cutting-edge rendering into larger pipelines—whether for automotive design reviews, online configurators, or cloud-based design platforms.

Key Features

• Headless Rendering: Operate without a GUI, allowing for automated rendering tasks and seamless integration into server-side applications or continuous integration (CI) pipelines.
• Real-Time Ray Tracing: Utilize VRED’s advanced rendering engine for photorealistic reflections, refractions, and global illumination in automated workflows.
• API & Script Integration: Control VRED Core via command-line or Python scripting, customizing processes and automating repetitive rendering tasks.
• Scalable Architecture: Deploy multiple instances of VRED Core in a distributed environment to handle large render jobs or support multiple concurrent user sessions.
• Flexible Output Formats: Produce high-resolution still images, 360° panoramas, or real-time streaming for use in design reviews, marketing materials, or interactive applications.

Benefits

• Streamlined Automation: Offload repetitive or large-scale rendering tasks to a dedicated server environment, freeing up local design workstations.
• Increased Productivity: Integrate VRED Core into existing pipelines, enabling continuous rendering or rapid design iterations without manual intervention.
• Consistent Visual Quality: Ensure uniform, photorealistic outputs by leveraging the same rendering engine used in other VRED products, maintaining brand and design consistency.
• Reduced IT Footprint: Run advanced 3D visualization processes on centralized hardware, potentially lowering overall system requirements for individual users.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Provide real-time or on-demand visual assets for remote teams, stakeholders, or customers—supporting faster feedback and better decision-making.

Who It’s For

• Automotive & Transportation OEMs needing automated, high-fidelity render pipelines for design reviews, web configurators, or marketing content generation.
• Design & Visualization Studios seeking to batch-process render jobs and produce large volumes of stills or animations without tying up creative workstations.
• IT & DevOps Teams looking to integrate powerful 3D rendering services into enterprise workflows, CI/CD systems, or server-side applications.
• Software & Platform Developers embedding real-time visualization capabilities in their own products—such as online configurators or cloud-based design tools.
• Enterprises Scaling Visualization requiring a robust, automated solution to maintain consistent, photoreal outputs across multiple projects and teams.
