Autodesk Homepage got redesigned. Nice. New Autodesk logo. Nice.
Back in my graphics design university days, that´s what our teachers always got off on. Reinvent yourself, get yourself a new look and people will perceive you and your business from a fresh perspective. The amount of money spent on such a rebranding is easily justified by any number of positive benefits, including an increase in moral and general demand for one of those new coffee mugs. I would love to have one, too. Really. I also like this: http://labs.autodesk.com/technologies/pinocchio http://www.autodesk.com/content/dam/autodesk/www/products/autodesk-3dsmax/videos/populate-crowd-animation-video-1152x648.flv http://www.autodesk.com/content/dam/autodesk/www/products/autodesk-3dsmax/images/screenshots/dx-11-viewport-rendering-large-1152x692.jpg And how close Nitrious and ActiveShade in 3dsMax get to make it wysiswyg. If I look into youtube for rendering with mR, it´s most often 3dsMax. It is so simple in 3dsMax... Maybe it´s time to say goodbye to the one app does everything approach and embrace the possibilities of having to pick from the whole range of solutions more. The grain of salt is, it´s less effective to keep the exponentially bigger amount of options in mind and also invest the time to find a workflow that actually works. It´s like building a PC from scratch instead of getting a tested workstation from a vendor. It may be cheaper to roll your own but it´s more work to do all the development and R&D yourself. Therefor, the Autodesk suites should actually be cheaper than buying any one of the 3d apps, since it actually takes the whole suite to get something done you would initially expect to work straight out of one box...
