Stingray: 3D Game Engine and Design Visualization

I guess this is a response to Unity and Unreal Engine, but given that both have free versions and vibrant communities and large dedicated development teams, I think it is a tough market for Autodesk to enter if it isn't going to dedicate very serious resources and a long-term focus.

Autodesk are already deeply embedded in the games industry with tools like Scaleform, Beast, HumanIK, etc. The list of products that use their middleware is impressive - http://gameware.autodesk.com/usage/games If they can leverage their userbase from the middleware to the engine they'll do very well.

if the integration to a 3ds max/maya pipeline and the quality is amazing they have a chance. otherwise pretty hard

> 3ds max/maya pipeline

Those, however, aren't free - far from it. At least with Unity you only have to shell out cash once you have [likely] made that cash from the sales you made with the free version. With this you need to shell out the cash up-front, for possibly one of the most ludicrously priced products in existence.

I can't see this going very far.
