CGenie - Professional CG Textures

** This thread discusses the content article: CGenie interview Autodesk **

"I think what is also ridiculous is their license model. I'm studying here in Canada for a year and wanted to purchase the educational version of Maya. Turns out the license is only valid in North America, so the program would become useless when I return back to Europe after this year. WHY? Sure, I know it's more expensive in Europe, but there are not too many people who buy this program and then move from North America to Europe each year, so I don't think they would loose so much money that way. Now on the other hand they lost a customer completely (me) and there's another person in this world promoting actively against Autodesk (that's me, too). They call that user friendly?! Great work, Autodesk! That way your bars will keep moving to the left, not to the right."

Main problem for many users is the PRICE of the MAX. I'm not student and I want to use it only for my joy of makin somethin in 3d. But I'm not gonna use 3dmax for that price. Microsoft and Corel took a lesson and sell their licence for home user for much lower price. Adobe and MAX will never learn and time of global recetion will show them they are f.cin wrong.

"Well, there is a lot of negativity towards Autodesk at the moment in the industry, lots of ""Borg"" references and such. Many view Autodesk as a company that just swallows other companies whole, like a hungry shark. They took a beating in this survey for sure. I think it was brave of Marc Petit to walk into this interview, and conducted himself very well. Not many people can handle criticism with the grace that Autodesk and Marc have managed to do in this interview. So kudos for that."

"Yeah,Marc seams like a very sharp guy. Good interview. GO BOBO b"
