industry standard 3d software – that’s so mental ray.
right about when they started promoting it as industry standard, development
froze in it’s tracks.
perhaps if every marketeer at Adsk was replaced with a developer, they might
have a future.
and what’s with all the guitars?
oh my, this is wrong on so many levels – whoever commissioned and approved this
should get flayed.

Agree with Mirko,
This is an experiment to see if they can get away with it...
If the hipster guy had a shirt with XSI logo that video would be absolutely
perfect.
Not sure what is the situation in your countries, but I rarely see freelancers
this calm, cool, with the headphones and smelly t-shirt...did they watch How I
met your Mother and saw that the high five is what the cool kids do nowdays?
Or they hired Richard Linklater to really see what the youth is all about?
Jesus ADSK Jesus!

I find it amazing that marketing is so out of touch with their target
audience ...
"$125 / month ... that's maybe an hour of your time?"
Are there any freelance 3D animators out there that get
$125 / hour? Maybe I'm out of touch...maybe 10 years ago.
I will be using Softimage, with Redshift 3D, till I change careers.
Not buying , or renting, anything else. Sorry.

Stop buying AD crap, lets see how long will they keep Maya and Max then,,
what is the limit of income they are willing to "push 3d industry forward, be
innovative and help artists give us their mo.. *cough* do their job"...
Fing marketing ppl that has no idea about target audience at all.

Starting next year companies will no longer be able to obtain new
permanent licenses either.
It will all be subscription based. Count on the incentives showing up to
swap your permanent licenses to monthly or annual subscriptions, and more than
likely for support of permanent licenses to go away.
I find the ad insulting on many levels. There is the fact that it may as
well be a marketing campaign for mens casual clothing. It is a generic ad
campaign for Product as Lifestyle. All of the imagery is of people doing cool
stuff that cool people do.. no 3d.. no work. The video following the guy with
vacant bloodshot eyes (arguably the only authentic part of the video) around
his day being a cool guy involves about 5% of him tumbling and pondering a mesh
before getting back to his cool guy duties like being dressed good for the MUNI
bus and the club.
This feels very idiocracy-like and I think strongly reflects on the
people making decisions at Autodesk. I do not want to give these people money
and this is one of the bigger motivations I've had to pursue Fabric, Houdini
and Modo and transition away from Maya.

This video insists that freelancers should take the cost of software
licensing instead of the companies they are working for. To me it looks like
ADSK starts to shift business to starving freelancers because they didn’t
succeed on forcing companies to go subscription. Makes sense busines wise,
because freelancers want to stay current with the software even it has no real
production value. Freelancers want to stay current because they think no one
will here them otherwise.
Sell one seat to a company for lets say 1500$ per year with a chance to
update of 50%. Or sell twelve seats for 125$ each to freelancers and the
probability of selling updates is much higher.
