I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldn't doubt it. I still think ADs plan was to shift most animators away from 3ds max when they came out with 3ds max design.
push arch viz to a specialized app, port ice to Maya and now all of a sudden you have 1 major 3d app to support instead of 3. JA ------------------------------ From: Daniel H Sent: 03-Sep-12 17:19 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Rumors about 3ds Max and MotionBuilder Rumors are a-fly'in around Twitter and the Web about the possible fate of 3ds Max and MotionBuilder. I can't imagine Autodesk ever decommissioning 3ds Max since it has such a high user base. With all of the recent Autodesk upheaval I'm a bit concerend about where Softimage will end up, although it seems SI can't be killed and has survived worse. I guess we will see how all of these rumors pan out. ***Long live Softimage!*** http://www.reddit.com/r/vfx/comments/z8o09/autodesk_is_no_longer_going_to_develop_3dsmax_and http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=59&t=1068562&page=1&pp=15 Daniel VFXM
