Autodesk’s recent acquistion of Maya, bolstered an already strong 3D suite of applications for Autodesk, and in this conversation with Rob Hoffman of Autodesk, we learn about recent updates to Maya 2008, 3ds Max 2008, and their purchase of Mudbox. Rob details new features, performance upgrades, and the response to customer feedback. Last year Autodesk introduced “The Area” a site designed for education and community interaction, and this year they are introducing “The Area 2.0.” If you are working in 3D then listen in to this interview!
