I just want to be able to enjoy continued access to the products and services that I love and that will help me achieve my creative vision along with many other potential artistic individuals around the world.AugAutodesk announced Maya 2009 3D animation and visual effects software, in celebration of the software's 10-year anniversary. I'm a die hard Autodesk user, I love Maya and I'm learning the hell out of 3DS Max. In closing the point I'm trying to make here is not to be a smartass or anything of the sort, far from it. This isn't a coincidence, as Adobe's earnings growth and P/E ratio's are both exceeding the industry averages, while Autodesk is lagging behind in both of these categories, making the company ripe for investors to buy up shares and dilute the ownership pool.

With all of this being said the earning report expectation for Autodesk for this current quarter is expected to be ($.27) EPS, while Adobe enjoyed a $.77 EPS for it's shareholders. This trend can also be seen in the film industry as companies such as Pixologic, Foundry, and Luxion have developed tools that allow content creators to attain studio quality work at a fraction of the cost. I recently read an article in relation to the Arnold render engine going subscription based due to the purchase of Solidangle by Autodesk and although I understand that the company is in the business of making money, I would like to implore the company to consider the success of other companies that have used the subscription based price model.Īdobe for example moved to this method in an attempt to reduce piracy of their products and also to allow more individuals to gain exposure to their product line, thus increasing competition in the design world and making design capabilities more affordable for consumers and businesses alike. I wanted to inquire as to why the subscription price point of the Maya product keeps increasing.
