Autodesk buys Alias!!!

You do or don't like the move?

It's a very surprising move... for now I don't see a problem.. but I could see MAX focusing on the gaming industry and cutting the overhead in the app. I can see Maya staying on as a name and having some MAX components installed to make it even better....

No matter what, Autodesk has pretty much cornered the market.... Although LightWave is getting a lot of press. I love the work done with it on the new TV show "Surface" Lightwave is progressing very well.

And then there's Soft Image.. another competitor.

But the big ones, Max and Maya have combined and now that's pretty huge huge competition for the others.

Sort of too bad really :(

I liked the direction Maya was going on its own.

Lightwave is doing phenom on shows like BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, did on FIREFLY< and most of the feature SERENTIY was CGI with LIGHTWAVE.

Studio Max and Maya combined? Whoa Nelly.

Yea I've been very impressed with the improvements LW has been doing...
