symek Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Isn't it also anti-SESI move? Maya lacks power off-the-shelf renderer. You always need to buy one. Now they can add 10 Arnolds per seat for free. Lot's middle sized studios using Houdini for Mantra may lose appetite for mixed pipeline...

Guest tar Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's an anti everyone move, especially with 2016 ser pack 2 targetting Mo-graphics i.e. C4D. The classic response to unipolar superpower is to form an alliance and rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Spooner Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) I guess Autodesk doesn't want to work with nVidia (Mental ray). I personally still use Mental Ray, there are old shaders but they do the Job, some quite well. As for render engines I liked Octane. BiFrost development is going to move very slow, Autodesk keeps buying tools, last it was MASH, now Arnold and don't really work on existing tools like BiFrost which has so much potential. It seems as if Autodesk has gone wild. Sure Maya won't die anytime soon, it still has a large user base but as for the development of the software, as I said, it's gone wild.
