Avatar presentation at Autodesk University

http://www.autodesk.com/modernpipeline Academy award winning producer Jon Landau talks about how Autodesk's Digital Entertainment Creation tools were essential elements in the creation of Avatar at Autodesk Univeristy 2009. Avatar producers and their production teams used Autodesk Maya and MotionBuilder to pioneer many virtual filmmaking techniques that are now making their way into leading feature films and games cinematics.

@TheVidMaker99 If you don't wish to pay and want to do 3d there's always Blender 3D. You don't do Avatar with it but it's free.

@CyberKineticFilms no, the virtual camera is the most important things in this movie.,

Virtual world wouldn't be possible without Autodesk...

@HDGekko As a general rule of thumb, 3ds max is for games and Maya is for motion pictures.

[Glenlego]

@HDGekko it was made in a fuck load of programs.

[HDGekko]

Was it made in 3ds or maya?

[juanfjimenez9]

@WeAreChuckNorris: Damn bro. Awesome comeback. I don't think I'll ever recover from that.

[XSDarkMoonZX]

@WeAreChuckNorris: Wow, you spend your whole life playing MW2 and trolling Autodesk Maya videos because you're angry that you're not good enough to keep up with the big boys. Douche.
