This leaves the company with Maya and 3DS Max as the main applications in the Media and Entertainment section, none of which should be expected to disappear any time soon. Softimage changed hands many times, the company was first founded by filmmaker Daniel Langlois in 1986 in Montreal and then sold to Microsoft in the 1990’s before it was passed on to Avid Technologies – its’ final owner until Autodesk announced the aquisition in late 2008 in a deal worth $35 million. With the final version of Softimage released this month, Autodesk closes the door on one of the oldest 3D applications on the market.
