Go buy it Autodesk … maybe than we’ll have nice modeling tools for Maya! 😛
Time to switch to Fusion…
I’ll be upset if Autodesk buys them!
autodesk….you know it…hey “YARD SALE”
BLACKMAGIC!!! Sell it to them!! We’ll get free stuff if it’s them, PLUS a new UI… It’s got yo be then!
crazy s***… few months ago we were playing with thoughts to switch from Fusion to Nuke (although there was no intelligent reason for it: fusion does the same awesome jobs for us since 10 years, without problems). We were waiting for weeks and months because nuke is idiotically expensive and did not make the final decision.
Then Fusion went free at BlackMagic and Nuke went… we’ll see… this is one rare situation in my life, where postponing has saved me $$ xx.xxx,-
It’s not surprising, selling software in such a niche market has never been that profitable.
Really a shame. The Foundry always delivers and pioneered cutting edge technology. To be bought out spells major uncertainty and if anything just goes to prove how volatile and unstable things are in this industry. It’s just business for the big companies, yet for us artists it’s something we have committed for decade(s). I hoped to see Modo borrow some non destructive paradigms from Nukes workflow and in time challenge ADSK. Instead, i would not be surprised if Foundry will be acquired for Nuke and modo will simply be killed off (e.g by ADSK to help people migrate to “maya”). I do not like this one bit. All i know is that SideFX has been very generous and amazing in their development and same can be said about Blender, software that is immune to such sorcery and bureaucracy.
Agree. As I read the news first thing I thought has been: “If AD buy them, Modo will be the first to go”. Hope future will prove I’m wrong…
In the meantime I think it’s worth to spend some spare moments looking at Fusion.
Actually the other buyer/shark in the water is Adobe….if they pick it up this scares me a bit for ADSK, as Adobe might just buy it for rights and user base and sell it a a ProCC$$$ suite adding photoshop of course.
Whether Autodesk buys them out or Adobe one thing is certain to f*** us over and that is the mandatory cloud service bolted on to their products. I’m hoping this is not the case, I’m hoping Pixologic buys them out instead.
That way I can keep both my Modo and ZBrush license in the same pile! 🙂
Blackmagic should buy it and put one button “Download” for free on their page, just as they did with Fusion.
