Autodesk has released several press releases today, just in time for SIGGRAPH, and the StudioDaily blog has a great rundown of the main thrust: Autodesk is reducing cost and releasing new versions.
The first big step was to unify Maya Complete and Maya Unlimited into a single product: Maya 2010. Included in Maya 2010 are Maya Composite, which is based on the compositing software in Toxik, Matchmover, the 3D tracking system, five mental ray Batch render nodes and Autodesk Backburner render manager. Maya 2010 cost $3,495.
With the new “Maya Composite”, it also signals the deal of “Toxik” as we know it. Hopefully we can get some more information from Autodesk tomorrow.
