AUTODESK MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT COLLECTION

Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection – The Complete Suite for Animation, 3D Modeling, VFX, and Digital Reconstruction

Autodesk's Media & Entertainment Collection is a powerful suite of professional tools dedicated to the creation, animation, and visualization of high-quality 3D content. Designed for film studios, television productions, video game developers, 3D artists, and visual effects designers, this collection combines the most widely used software in the entertainment and digital graphics industry into one package.

Thanks to the seamless integration of the various tools included, the suite allows you to manage every stage of production – from concept to modeling, from animation to rendering, up to digital reconstruction from scans and photographs.

🎥 Software included in the Media & Entertainment Collection

✅ Autodesk Maya

Leading tool for 3D modeling, rigging, animation, and simulation. Used in film productions and video games for complex animations, realistic characters, particle effects, and physical simulations. Includes native integration of the Arnold renderer.

✅ Autodesk 3ds Max

Versatile software for 3D modeling and rendering with workflows oriented towards design, VFX, and architectural visualization. Includes tools for modifiers, parametric animations, and advanced rendering.

✅ Autodesk Mudbox

Platform for high-definition 3D digital sculpting and texturing, perfect for creating realistic details, multi-layer textures, and optimized topologies. Ideal for characters, creatures, and complex surfaces 🖌️.

✅ Autodesk MotionBuilder

Software dedicated to real-time animation and motion capture management. Allows retargeting of animations, virtual directing, and fluid integration with interactive or cinematic production pipelines.

✅ Arnold Renderer

Physically correct rendering engine for photorealistic images, integrated in Maya and 3ds Max. Supports global lighting, advanced materials, optical effects, motion blur, subsurface scattering, and much more 🔆.

✅ Autodesk ReCap Pro & ReCap Photo

Advanced tools for reconstructing 3D models from laser scanning or photogrammetry.

• ReCap Pro allows you to process and manage point clouds from 3D scans for accurate surveys.

• ReCap Photo generates 3D models from photographs, useful for photorealistic settings, scenarios, or assets to be used in animation or visualization software.

🧩 Advanced Features and Integration

• Multidisciplinary Workflow: the software works together fluidly, facilitating the transition from modeling to rendering, from sculpting to animation, from scanning to 3D scene.

• Realistic Simulation: Physical effects such as fluids, fire, fabrics, hair, and dynamics are managed through powerful and scalable internal tools.

• Motion Capture and Real-time Animation: through MotionBuilder and Maya, it is possible to animate characters in real time, even on virtual sets.

• Distributed Rendering and GPU-ready: thanks to Arnold, you can use the GPU to accelerate photorealistic rendering.

• Reconstruction from Reality to Digital: ReCap allows you to transform physical environments into navigable models optimized for immersive or filmic projects.

💻 Compatibility and System Requirements

🖥️ Supported Operating Systems:

• Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)

• macOS: partial compatibility (only Maya and Mudbox are natively available)

The other tools can be run on Mac via virtualized environments such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion or Boot Camp (only for Macs with Intel chips).

🔧 Recommended Minimum Requirements (vary depending on the software):

• Processor: Intel Core i7 / AMD Ryzen 7 or higher, multicore

• RAM: minimum 16 GB (32 GB recommended for advanced workflows with rendering or simulations)

• GPU: compatible with DirectX 11 / OpenGL 4.5, at least 4 GB VRAM (NVIDIA RTX or Quadro recommended)

• Disk Space: at least 100 GB available for installation and projects

• Internet Connection: necessary for license activation, cloud syncing, and updates ☁️
