Exactly. Its interesting for sure and I'm curious to see how Autodesk plays their cards. I think now is the time more than ever to gather all three user bases together and do something new. They should of already started given the amount of time it takes to build software like this. I for one am pushing more into realtime and gaming. Been learning Unity more and loving it.
To Autodesk employees on the list...take this to your meeting with the head of M&E...and whatever they say to shoot down what we're saying...he/she is dead wrong...I promise you. Autodesk needs to be on the fast track to "unifying" the user base and taking us somewhere new, fresh and for the next decade....and in the meantime, equally supporting all three apps....or it will collapse and shift elsewhere. But maybe they don't really care...M&E after all is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of their business.
