Toxik is perhaps the most surprising addition originally Autodesk's response to node tree compositors Fusion, Shake and Nuke. Known for its manual tracking capabilities, combined with an easy-to-use interface, Maya users now have a more cost-effective, high-end solution than even SynthEyes.

Under RealViz, MatchMover was a highly regarded $4,000 motion tracking package comparable to Boujou, 3D Equalizer, PF Track or SynthEyes. MatchMover's inclusion is an industry game changer. Both are standalone programs with the latter also available to 3DS Max users on subscription. Maya Entertainment Creation Suite 2010 best epitomizes the notion of a suite, as Maya itself now incorporates Maya Composite, also known as Toxik, and adds to the Maya Live tracking component with MatchMover, formerly from RealViz. Only Mudbox and MotionBuilder are added to a base package of the Maya and 3DS Max Entertainment Creation Suites.

Among their latest releases, the Entertainment Creation Suite bears resemblance to Adobe's Creative Suites, except it doesn’t offer the bountiful collection of tools one receives from Adobe.

MatchMover’s inclusion is a game changerĪutodesk's rise to dominance in 3D content creation software continues to mirror Adobe's success in 2D graphics.
