It's probably a case of "innovator's dilemma' but I don't understand why all company making 3D software for industry haven't try to enter this market twenty years ago (maybe they is too much technical difference that I'm not aware of). It's seems too late now, they haven't a huge technical advantage any more. But competition is always good, so good luck to them !
- brudgers 11y agoCompanies start orbiting the same market as Autodesk and Autodesk acquires them. That's been their strategy for 25 years starting with Generic CADD. #DStudio and Maya were acquisitions Autodesk didn't kill off. The only notable exception is Sketchup. Google bought it instead, just as it went from MVP to software product line. Conveniently for Autodesk, Google pulled the critical feature out of the entry version after a year or two (DXF/DWG support), let development on the professional version languish, and eventually ejected it as a drifting hulk after Revit gained enough traction for institutions to start requiring it as a delivery format for construction designs despite Revit's file format being closed proprietary.
