Originally posted by gster123 Not really, Autodesk have taken over many CAD packages, designed for different user bases, and there still going strong and have done for many years. Hey Maybe Microsoft and apple will join????? As I said Max and Maya are two completly different packages, right from the core code and architecture up so unless ones dropped in favour of the other merging them would mean a new package rarther than a merger... A new package that has features both in Maya and Max. I guess it's sort of like a merged one. Microsoft joining with Apple?! How can you speak of such blasphemy?! :mg:
