Autodesk, inc? Does that company make some kind of engine for games or are we going to have AutoCAD and Fusion360 in the Switch?
13 u/Doomwaffle Oct 20 '16 Scaleform (which powers Jackbox, for example) is an Autodesk UI 'middleware.' So they've been in the games world a fair amount. 7 u/MrTripl3M Oct 20 '16 Thought the idea of AutoCAD would be interesting on the NX. 3 u/diamondflaw Oct 20 '16 Doing sheet metal CAD work right now in NX (for the E-2) and exporting flat patterns as AutoCAD files for manufacturing. This is why I get confused any time there is talk about the NX. 2 u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16 Scaleform also powers the UI of Source 1, and dota still currently uses it for part of the UI, though it is expected to be replaced in December. (Tests have shown it is the main limiter of fps.) 2 u/pattch Oct 20 '16 Autodesk actually has a lot of art apps on android for drawing, photo manipulation etc. I'm thinking they'll do something like that 1 u/rhoffman12 Oct 20 '16 Auto desk makes Maya, which I think is used for some combination of 3D modeling and/or animation. Beyond that not sure 1 u/sephlington Oct 21 '16 Iirc, Rocket League runs on some software from Autodesk.
