This quick guide shows the necessary configuration steps to bridge Autodesk Alias into Virtual Reality for SteamVR, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest 1 & 2, HTC Vive (Pro), HTC Focus, HP Reverb and Windows Mixed Reality HMDs. The guide also applies for bridging Autodesk Alias for Powerwalls, 3D stereo projectors, CAVEs and DOMEs.

  • Start the moreViz Launcher
  • Notice the moreViz-Tray icon (next to system time) and right-click it, select “moreViz Application Enabler”
  • Click “Locate known Apps”. The more3D application enabler will search the standard program files folders for known Autodesk Alias installations and add them to the list.
  • If your Alias is installed to a non standard directory, please click “Add Application”, locate the “Alias.exe”. The standard path is
    X:\Program Files\Autodesk\AliasDesign2019\bin”.
    Depending on your Alias Version the pathname might be different, yet the “bin” subfolder in the Alias”Version” “Year” (e.g. AliasDesign2019) level is where to find the targeted “Alias.exe”.
  • Place the checkmark in the “enabled” column for Alias / Alias.exe
  • Close the Application Enabler.
  • The moreViz VR bridging function is now available for the Alias Design installation. Start the moreViz Client(s) and then start Alias Design.

In case there are any issues with the visualization in the moreViz client, make sure to have followed these guides:

  • Dual GPU & Quadro guide: For frozen or black image in client
  • Fit the 3D into the host app’s viewport: in case geometry is missing in the moreViz client

Quick Tipps:

  • For best performance with HMD, set the connection type to shared memory in the moreViz Launcher’s Connection Settings (only available for single-client setups on the local computer).
  • For best visual impression, set AntiAliasing / Pixel Density to 2x in the moreViz Launcher’s Client Settings
  • SteamVR only: To operate the host application’s graphics user interface, check the SteamVR Desktops function of the SteamVR Dashboard.

The moreViz Software bridges over 35 applications to any SteamVR compatible Head Mounted Display and 3D Projectors. No Import/Export hassle, but a 1:1 VR plugin!
