I asume it will probably work for Autodesk as it is a similar story with
Adobe. Nobody liked the renting thing but now most of the people play
the game.
Little difference: there are a few 3D-Apps around, which are not
Audodesk to which one can take a sidestep...
Welcome in the club of Betatesters, where you can´t be sure something´s
working this month will also work in the next month/softwareversion. So
my Adobe experience.

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.
