Questions? We have answers
The Autodesk Media and Entertainment Collection includes Maya, the Golaem plug-in for Maya, Autodesk Flow Studio, 3ds Max, Arnold (with the option of getting a 5-pack), MotionBuilder, Mudbox, Character Generator access, ReCap Pro, and Autodesk Rendering.
You can also run Bifrost for Maya on up to 15 machines with each collection license, enabling you to process Bifrost-created simulations on a compute farm. Bifrost for Maya is a visual programming environment for creating complex effects.
Golaem is a crowd simulation plug-in exclusively available in the Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection and requires separate download for use with Maya and other 3D content creation tools. For more information, please read the FAQ here.
When you purchase the Media & Entertainment Collection, you’ll gain access to the Pro Tier of Autodesk Flow Studio. Check out the FAQ for step-by-step instructions on how to activate your access.
If you purchase the Media & Entertainment Collection online (via this page), you get a single-user Arnold license, which you can use on up to 5 separate machines. If you purchase the collection subscription from a reseller, you have the choice between receiving an Arnold single-user license or a 5-pack of Arnold multi-user licenses. The option to get multi-user licenses in place of a single-user license is only available if you buy from a reseller and doesn’t apply if you purchase online from this page. Learn more in this FAQ.
For core products, common file formats can be imported and exported. With certain products, you can collaborate simultaneously on a model or project throughout a workflow. For examples, see Game design and development or Film and TV production. Arnold is the integrated renderer in Maya and 3ds Max, enabling you to see high-quality previews and iterate changes quickly.
The price of an annual Media & Entertainment Collection subscription is {{price.MECOLL.1year}} and the price of a monthly Media & Entertainment Collection subscription is {{price.MECOLL.month}}. The price of a 3-year Media & Entertainment Collection subscription is {{price.MECOLL.3years}}.
Use the products you need and will get the most value from. If you use just 2 or 3 of the products in the collection, the subscription cost is likely to be lower than subscribing to products individually. You’ll increase the capabilities of your business, simplify software administration, and reduce the time spent from project start to completion.
If you purchased your subscription online from our website, you can upgrade to an industry collection when your current product subscription expires. If you purchased your subscription from a sales representative or authorized partner, contact them for assistance. Learn more about upgrading your Autodesk product or plans.
