Luka:
Со стороны Autodesk это хорошое приобретение. Autodesk VIZ - это кастрат 3D MAX и ориентирован на создание красивых картинок, но не более. Ранее у Autodesk не было реального продукта для инженерной анимации, рэндера, проверки коллизий, визуального отслеживания жизненного цикла и т.п., включая мощный API. Для тех кто не не знает, JetStream пользовались многие разработчики CAD-систем, среди них такие бренды как COADE, Bentley Systems (продавалась под маркой Bentley Explorer) и т.п.. Так что фанаты Autodesk - привыкаем к новому продукту. Ну и последняя сборочка для вас, "подправленная" нами, изучайте, тренируйтесь, всё на русском.... Хотя, если нежелательные элементы. В связи с данным мероприятием были исключены конкуренты (поддержка форматов)
