Autodesk buys Alias?!?! what the hell?



alias aquisition

Sad for some people, some are happy thinking that new products will have best features from both the worlds...

but its true.

Now all alias softwares will be Autodesk !

;-(

yeah, i was saddened to hear the news too... i went to college where they taugh only the best, and guess what, NO AUTODESK ANYTHING IN THAT PLACE!!!... it was all Alias (and some Adobe)...

oh well... i'll go cry by myself in the corner

Yea, this news was all over CGTalk.com. It all seems rather strange.

I dont see this as a bad thing, Autodesk is a smart compay and more than likely bought Alias to have a product in areas that their others can't go.

I doubt you'll see any big changes to Alias anytime soon.

Alias hasn't been developing it's software a lot the last years so hopefully with some 'injection' from Autodesk it will develop into a cheaper programm (Rhino is coming1

Hi there,

Is anyone know how is it possible these days to get a first Alias contrat when you are a beginner in using the software ?
I do have a back ground in clay modeling and I did study the software on my own and now I would like to get some experience so if anyone know how to get a job I will be please to hear any kind informations.

Thanks!

I agree with Huggy_70 Alias development been slow because developers moved into maya development. Lets see.... Alias/Wavefront now Autodesk/Alias we know about change.

annoying can't post the link as a link because of ()

i know its the Maya one, but it still shows how Alias became alias under Pre-release history.

it shows allot of mergers....but doesn't include recent ones such as the buy out a few months ago or a year? or Autodesk's purchase.

long term maya users have been used to change.
