On July 31st, 2006 Autodesk announced the launch of a new community portal called AREA. It is focused on artists and developers using Autodesk® 3D products in the media and entertainment industry. Initially, the site will focus on content created using Autodesk® Maya®, Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® Motion Builder™ or Autodesk® VIZ used in games, film, post production or design visualization.

In addition to tutorials, downloads, a showcase gallery, blogs and networks, the AREA is now the new home for your discussion forums. Maya, 3ds Max, VIZ, and MotionBuilder forums has moved to a common, but different platform. For this reason, the 3ds Max webboard forums are now closed.

The user interface and functionality has changed slightly, but the quality of the discussions as part of this new environment should be better than ever. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
