he does deserve it I am quite sure, however if Autodesk keeps buying up tech, it just strangles the industry. Mudbox, Combustion, Softimage, CAT, all of these products were doing fine before the acquisition now mostly dead, or dead. One might come to the conclusion that people get in this game for the Autodesk payoff. The game now seems fixed, I keep hoping someone out there might level the playing field and take some of the business away from Autodesk, but one gets the feeling if they start to even look mildly successful, they will just be borged.

I worked with Thiago in Toronto for about a month a few years back. We shared an apartment provided by the studio. He's got to be one of the smartest normal people I have had the pleasure to work with in VFX. When I say normal, he's not that typical brainiac type who is condescending and has trouble relating to other people. He's a cool dude. Despite one's possible misgivings of anything Autodesk does, Thiago deserves it. So good for him.
