Whatever happened to Project Newport? Not really seen at #AU2010
Monday, December 20, 2010 at 5:00AM It has been two years since the huge hype over Project Newport was shown at Autodesk University 2008. I was so excited about the thought of a gaming engine based Revit viewer. We can now use "Realistic View" to get a similar pre-rendered view within Revit but there is no way one can walk around to show it to a client. I heard a little about it last year at AU2009 but I don't think even one person mentioned it this year at AU2010.
What is the issue with it not being released? I saw multiple (non-autodesk) people seamlessly show what they were doing with it and no crashes (that I can remember) in the live presentations of large files. Watch it yourself if you are interested or don't know what I am talking about. http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=3837
Man, I wish I could have been part of the test group for this. Especially if they are still "testing" it. Perhaps it is just dead since the Labs never seem to talk about it.
