Yep. Or $4495 for a workstation license and then $2495 per year. For a minute there it looked like Autodesk was doing something half reasonable with the free transition offer to Softimage + Maya. But then I saw that accepting that means that I would not be allowed to use Softimage at all after February 2016. I'm not even sure what Autodesk gains from that.

What I find interesting in the fact that people want to jump the Autodesk boat is that they seem to forget they have to buy a new software. For a company that relies entirely on Softimage, that decision is not a cheap one. Houdini is 7000$ for a floating license plus 4000$ per year!

In two years when Bifrost will be nearing maturity, Maya will become a lot more appealing if you stay on subscription. Be kind with your bean counter.

just sayin.
