Hi Autodesk,
The subscribee has sent me the price for another 1 year subscription, I see that the price is still quite high for what Maya LT with Stingray offers. After evaluating Maya LT + Stingray subscribed for 13 months, it didn't meet workflow and requirements of the office and project. I guess it's still too undeveloped and lacking in features, taking into account that Stingray is just a few years old. Also, it disrupts the office's workflow as Stingray does not run on Macs and these disruptions, having to boot to Windows everytime, cost money- on bootup is usually where OSes mess up (any OS) which is why the workflow involves always ON computers (with sleep, non hibernate).
As much as the office loves Maya because that's the first- one of the pioneers, with a heavy heart the office has to cancel the subscription because it, the office, needs to use more powerful and unfortunately/fortunately more affordable tools that work on the Mac and macOS platform well (like Unreal Engine, Blender and other macOS/Mac tools).
Thank you for understanding but Autodesk's improvements on the Maya LT + Stingray combo (best merged as just Stingray, nobody's done that in the industry too and also, so that the exact material, shader especially and hard surface meshes woes would finally be a thing of the past with import). It also needs more game samples from all game genres, taking into account gemstone materials/shaders like diamonds and chain like weapons game templates) would be checked on (major one is it should all work with macOS and Macs) from time to time because one should always be on the look out for tools that will get the results needed- there's no brand loyalty in most cases. This friendly competition for companies also fosters innovation in terms of: features, performance & affordability. The end result of the project/s is what matters.
Regards to your the Autodesk CEO and everybody at Autodesk who've accommodated my emails, ideas and requests through the years. Hopefully and God willing, we'll do business once again, one of these days. This is of course just for the Maya LT + Stingray combo, not Autodesk as a whole.
