3ds Max and AutoCAD creator Autodesk has moved swiftly and managed to acquire for an undisclosed sum Sweden-based Illuminate Labs, the company known for making the Beast tool for advanced global illumination and the Turtle rendering and baking plugin for Autodesk Maya.
“We welcome Illuminate Labs customers and employees to Autodesk,” said Marc Stevens, VP Games, Autodesk Media & Entertainment. “Technological progress is a mainstay of the games industry. Autodesk is committed to helping game developers be more competitive with modern pipelines. We want our customers to spend less time building workflows and solving redundant problems, and more time realizing their creative vision for the game.”
Autodesk is promising to continue developing and selling Illuminate Labs’ offerings, with the Beast middleware expected to still be a standalone product, while Turtle will be incorporated in future Autodesk software.
