3D Community Portal AREA Celebrates First Anniversary

The Autodesk Media & Entertainment 3D community portal, AREA, is celebrating its first anniversary.
Launched in August 2006, AREA has become a preferred online destination, attracting more than 150,000 registered members.
AREA is an interactive online community for artists using Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya 3D animation, modelling and rendering software; Autodesk MotionBuilder character animation software; Autodesk VIZ 3D modelling, rendering and presentation software; and Autodesk FBX universal 3D asset exchange file format. To foster collaboration and networking within the industry, content on AREA is largely generated by the community and supported by Autodesk.
The site features tip, tutorials, discussion forums, blogs, downloads, galleries, member portfolios and feature stories on 3D artists and developers. Membership is free.
To date, AREA has showcased the work of 200 digital artists, and fostered more than 65 discussions between the 3D community and Autodesk’s product management team. Of the five Autodesk bloggers, Principal Scientist Duncan Brinsmead’s 'Duncan’s Corner' blog is the community favourite, with numerous comments and endorsements.
As part of AREA’s one-year celebration, Autodesk has launched a new site architecture, which further enhances the online user experience and integrates feedback from the rapidly growing community. The new site is specifically designed to provide improved interaction between users, provide them with greater control over their content, as well as to streamline their online experience.
