Public Company Information: NASDAQ:ADSK SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Autodesk, Inc<\/a>. (NASDAQ:ADSK) has acquired Solid Angle, developer of Arnold, an advanced, ray-tracing image renderer for high-quality 3D animation and visual effects creation used in film, television and advertising worldwide. Acquisition terms were not disclosed. An efficient global illumination renderer used by more than 500 studios and thousands of independent artists, Arnold has become the preferred tool among creative professionals for high-quality rendering. Arnold has been used on Academy Award-winning films such as \u201cEx Machina\u201d and \u201cThe Martian\u201d as well as the Emmy Award-winning series\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>, among other popular features, TV shows and commercials. \u201cWe\u2019re constantly looking out for promising technologies that help artists boost creativity and productivity,\u201d shared Chris Bradshaw, senior vice president, Autodesk Media & Entertainment. \u201cEfficient rendering is increasingly critical for 3D content creation and acquiring Solid Angle will allow us to help customers better tackle this computationally intensive part of the creative process. Together, we can improve rendering workflows within our products as well as accelerate the development of new rendering solutions that tap into the full potential of the cloud, helping all studios scale production.\u201d \u201cAutodesk shares our passion for numerical methods and computational performance and our desire to simplify the rendering pipeline, so artists can create top quality visuals more easily,\u201d said Solid Angle Founder Marcos Fajardo. \u201cWith Autodesk, we\u2019ll be able to accelerate development as well as scale our marketing, sales and support operations for Arnold to better meet the needs of our growing user base. Working side-by-side, we can solve production challenges in rendering and beyond.\u201d As part of Autodesk, Solid Angle\u2019s development team will continue to drive the evolution of Arnold working in close collaboration with its user community. Arnold will remain available as a standalone renderer for both Autodesk products and third party applications including Houdini, Katana, and Cinema 4D on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Both Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya will also continue to support other third-party renderers. \u201cAs with other acquisitions, we are committed to supporting third party applications with Arnold,\u201d explains Bradshaw. \u201cOur goal is to improve customers\u2019 collaboration, creativity, productivity and efficiency across their entire pipeline, regardless of the tools they use.\u201d Arnold pricing and packaging is unchanged and Autodesk will continue to offer perpetual licenses of Arnold. Customers should continue to purchase Arnold through their usual Solid Angle channels.
