No surprise there, right! Good for the Maya community.
Beeing a former 3dsmax user I wonder how that community feels about having to pay for Arnold now that MaxtoA is on the way and when the Maya community gets an Arnold client license for free. To my knowledge the license fees are about the same for Max and Maya. I'm so glad I migrated to Modo last year but i feel sorry for the Max users.
I dont understand the AD agenda and will probably never do.
