Just wanted to point out that 3ds max used to be named "3D Studio MAX" and grew out of an even older DOS software called 3D Studio. Autodesk bought it somewhere around when it got ported to Windows NT (maybe 1997?).

Autodesk really has grown mostly by acquisition.

3D Studio was developed by the Yost Group and published by Autodesk pretty much from the start, they bought it outright after 3D Studio MAX R2.
