Re: Autodesk Posted this Year's Rules
Other software has never really been limited. With the exception of using 3DS Max. (By the way Maya is an Autodesk Product not a 3DS Max Product, 3DS MAX is only one piece of software not a product line) The mention of exporting the final movie from MAX appears to me to be their control for the CODEC. Different software may produce a file that is not fully compatible (even with similar settings) With the hundreds of entries they want to eliminate potential issues that effect their ability to deliver your animation to your regional (and will slow down the entire process for them). So if you export someplace else, you take a chance--- But you can finish your submission anywhere you want and then render the submission in MAX by adding it as an animated Background to an empty scene (then rerender the proper settings). This will ensure you give them what they ask for.
Whether or not they come out with Combustion, you should be able to edit and add audio how ever you need to (AVID, FCP, Premiere, etc). The main reason for limiting to MAX for the 3D is becuase they are giving it to us, they are sponsoring the competition, and as they stated its a level playing field. Maya for instance is much beter for highend animations (Character motion and such) and the render has different strengths, so the limit to MAX makes it all even (not based on a "richer" or longer established team being able to affort more expensive software)
Anyway... Have at it. Prep image maps, add audio, and render render render!!!
