To coincide with the annual Macworld Conference & Expo held recently, Autodesk announced that it has expanded its portfolio of Macintosh 2D and 3D software tools for entertainment, multimedia, and design professionals. The three new 2009 products for the Mac OS X platform include Toxik procedural compositing software, Mudbox digital sculpting and texture painting software, and ImageModeler image-based modeling and photogrammetry software.

These offerings complement the 2009 versions of Maya 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software as well as Stitcher photo-stitching software, which are already available on the Mac. The rollout of the products for this platform was in response to the growing adoption of Mac OS X within the Mac community.

"Mac OS X Leopard, combined with our Mac hardware, offers creative and design specialists a compelling platform for creating everything from stunning 2D visual effects to advanced 3D models for digital entertainmentS' says Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
