Autodesk's community portal 'Area' goes live
Autodesk has announced that its new community portal, Area is now live.
The site is intended to be a centralised repository of content created using Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max animation, modelling and rendering software; Autodesk MotionBuilder character animation software; or Autodesk VIZ 3D modelling, rendering and presentation software.
Fostering collaboration and networking within the industry, content on the Area is intended to be generated by the community, and supported by Autodesk. The site features tips and tutorials, discussion forums, blogs, downloads, galleries, member portfolios and feature stories on artists and developers. Membership is free.
Michel Besner, Autodesk Media & Entertainment senior director of product management, said: “Through Area, the 3D community can support its own growth as the industry addresses the next-generation production challenges of increasingly complex games, television and film effects, and design visualisations.”
Area was announced on August 1 at the Autodesk user group meeting at SIGGRAPH 2006 in Boston.
Autodesk is a world leading software and services company for the manufacturing, infrastructure, building, media and entertainment, and wireless data services fields. Founded in 1982, Autodesk is headquartered in San Rafael, California.
