Another abandoned effort at Autodesk. Sorry, Stingray. When you get to software Valhalla say, hi to Toxik, Combustion, and XSI for us. Hopefully CAT won't be joining you

Hello @JezEmin and @mgmcgill,

These decisions are always hard, but we recommend investigating the workflows between 3ds Max and Maya and the other industry-standard real-time tools out there, such as Unity and Unreal. Both of them have tremendous support from the CG community and widespread adoption in the marketplace. Thanks,
