Autodesk Debuts 2014 Entertainment Creation Suite
Today, Autodesk unveiled the exciting new features of the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite 2014. This comprehensive suite provides a versatile workflow, combining award-winning 3D animation, visual effects, and creative tools like Autodesk Maya 2014, Autodesk 3ds Max 2014, Autodesk MotionBuilder 2014, Autodesk Mudbox 2014, Autodesk Softimage 2014, and Autodesk Sketchbook Designer 2014. All these tools have been updated with enhancements that aim to facilitate collaboration among artists, manage complexity, and streamline the movement of data through the entire production pipeline.
Chris Bradshaw, Senior Vice President of Media & Entertainment at Autodesk, stated, "Modern production teams often handle multiple complex and visually demanding projects simultaneously. We work closely with top-tier entertainment studios worldwide to deliver the most powerful solutions." He added, "The Entertainment Creation Suites provide a unified and flexible workflow, enabling teams of all sizes to better manage their globally distributed creative workforce. Each product in this suite not only saves precious production time but also grants artists greater creative freedom to choose the best tool for their specific task."
### Flexible Toolset Adapts to Project Requirements
Offering three distinct configurations, the Suites can be tailored to fit the needs of any team size, budget, or project scope. The Standard edition comes packed with industry-standard 3D software and offers a choice between Autodesk Maya 2014 or Autodesk 3ds Max 2014, alongside Autodesk MotionBuilder 2014, Autodesk Mudbox 2014, and Autodesk Sketchbook Designer 2014.
The Premium edition builds upon the Standard Suite by adding Autodesk Softimage 2014, a robust 3D animation and visual effects software.
For those requiring the ultimate flexibility, the Ultimate Suite includes everything from the Premium edition, plus access to both Maya 2014 and 3ds Max 2014.
Guillaume de Fondaumière, co-CEO of Quantic Dream, emphasized, "Our goal is to create video games that push the boundaries in terms of emotional depth." Hundreds of Autodesk's clients leverage the power of these Suites to craft thrilling entertainment projects. Quantic Dream, a 180-person Paris-based game studio, utilized the Suites to develop their upcoming video game, *BEYOND: Two Souls*. By harnessing the power of the Suites, the Quantic Dream team was able to create lifelike characters that bring their psychological action thriller to life.
In *BEYOND*, Academy Award nominee Ellen Page stars as Jodie, a young woman with supernatural abilities due to her connection to an unseen entity. She is joined by another Oscar nominee, Willem Dafoe, who plays Nathan Dawkins, a government scientist assisting Jodie in understanding her powers. Players will navigate fifteen years of Jodie's life, experiencing pivotal moments along the way. Similar to its predecessor, *Heavy Rain*, *BEYOND* allows players to influence the storyline through their choices and actions.
With the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites, every character in *BEYOND: Two Souls* is brought to life with realistic textures, emotions, and reactions. Gamers will instantly recognize the critically acclaimed actors as their performances transcend the virtual realm to resonate in every living room.
