I have seen increased demand for creating short video and "glossy" shots using our engineered solid models. I've been using Inventor Studio and Showcase but I've been thinking I could use some formal training and new skill set. What accredited colleges or universities do you know that offer AS or BS degrees with emphasis on using Autodesk tools? Most that I find are geared to Gaming or filming industries, do you know of one with a more industrial flavor? Thanks for your input, Ross 2011-10-31T12:36:26+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/3d-models-from-other-software/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/3d-models-from-other-software/page-last/#When:09:33:11Z Hi How do I import blender models to 3ds Max or Maya??

I'm Stefania, a student at the Glasgow School of Art working on her master's project. I'm researching on the relationship rigger/animator and I'd like to know your opinions. Here are questions: Is communication between riggers and animators difficult? Do you think is good for a rigger to have experience in animation? And for animators to know rigging to some extent?Why? Are there differences in big and small studios in the way riggers and animators communicate? In small studios often one person works both as a rigger and animator. Do you think this is more or less beneficial than having one person for each role? Thanks! 2011-08-10T17:39:59+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/mobile-phone-apps-and-autodesk-software/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/mobile-phone-apps-and-autodesk-software/page-last/#When:20:15:11Z Howdy guys and gals im in the early stages of research and development for an application that would be available on most phones that would need to synchronise with Autodesk software my questions are these : will i need to develop extra code/software that will synchronise my phone with autodesk software or can i use the development tools available on install?? also does anyone know the legalities of such an app? would i be able to patent/copyright my app even though it would need to make use of other software?? i'd appreciate any advice on this matter and obviously there are only limited details i am willing to divulge on public forums - thanks in advance Lee Done U.K 2011-06-02T20:15:11+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/which-is-better-for-game-art-maya-or-3ds-max/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/which-is-better-for-game-art-maya-or-3ds-max/page-last/#When:22:56:54Z As a beginner in game art design and modeling, I am torn between Max and Maya. Search engines on the subject all come up with even answers. Being this is an actual Autodesk forum, maybe some of you experts can advise me which direction to take. I have both 3DS Max 2011 and Maya 2011. I have tried both to a limited extent and haven't gone deep enough into either one to make a clear decision on the matter. Any thoughts are appreciated...

The view cube is gone and when i create a simple box it has diagonals when i press F4, but those are not edges (It looks weird-see attached pic). I want to reset them all to the way it was at the start how can i do it I've tried the 'reset' in menu which doesn't work, and please don't tell me to reinstall, rather if u would give me solution. 2011-02-05T10:17:38+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/foreign-fonts--symbols/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/technical-art/foreign-fonts--symbols/page-last/#When:21:07:46Z Hello, I'm looking for a better way of putting Chinese characters into my renderings and animations. Currently I create the text in AutoCAD, then EPS those images out to Photoshop, then create the sign map. Why doesn't the text translate to Max? Please help.
