Autodesk Stingray

I can see Unity 5 adjusting there pricing model due to Autodesk Stingray.
I do not think that Autodesk Stingray is really aimed at UE4 but more aimed at Unity 5.

Unity 5 Still costs 1500 USD per seat or 75 Dollars per month for a 12 month period.

Meanwhile Autodesk Stingray costs 30 dollars with a copy of Maya LT and looks allot easier to use than Unity 5.
Autodesk even have a asset market place ready to go.

The only downsides to using Stingray which are big IMO is Scaleform which is a Flash based UI toolset and the Wwise licensing structure.
Flash is a pretty old technology and is pretty vulnerable to some bad hacks and you still need to use Adobe Flash to author your UI.

The second is the Wwise Licensing structure which you can see here.

FMod is much cheaper IMHO but I do not know what autodesk has planned on this side of things.

Maya lt + stingray for $30/mo thats HUGE. Maya lt won’t let you go over 100k /mesh so thats a nasty one,but depending on game, prob. not a big deal. If it is, autodesk has other apps that I imagine one could you and export into stingray ? NO idea if thats allowable or if maya lt is the only avenue.
