If you go to alias.com...it says..nicly...
Autodesk.... FORMELY...Alias..
so RIP alias...it was good for a few years there. The last few havn't felt like Alias really anyway so it all makes sense.
If it gives users more tools to get the job done, thats all that matters after all.
And it wasn't APPLE, thank goodness...otherwise I'd have to be finding that new mac OSX hack to run on my intel chips.
Ah well, I'm just bitter. All the old things go away.

Wonder if Autodesk truely owns my copy of Maya 7 now?

That whole intellectual rights blah blah blah.

Well atleast now if im asked about what autodesk products i know i can add 3 items to the list :)

Lets just hope nothing like the XSI > microsoft fiasco happens again, or its not just an asset stripping buyout. I suppose the + side is that integration between the major packages will take another step in the right direction. Wonder if brazil will continue to produce the MAYA plugin?

i hope, in the hand of Autodesk, Maya would be a higher end 3D platform, in linux for film industries, and the Max goes on its low end character in Windows for game
