No desired to use a render engine that Autodesk owns, they must think I’m stupid to corner myself even more. The last thing I want to do is rely more on their products and crappy customer scheming.

Yep, I’ve got a lot invested in Max, knowledge and plugins – but considering my view of how Autodesk have acted over the past years both in the products they’ve killed and those that they still ‘support’, I would be foolish to put faith in them for something like a render engine.

I’m very happy with Redshift and Vray.
