Autodesk Boosts Advanced Rendering Capabilities Through Acquisition of Solid Angle

Autodesk, a leading software company in design and engineering, has made a strategic move by acquiring Solid Angle, the creator of Arnold — a powerful ray-tracing renderer used globally for high-quality 3D animation, visual effects, and creative content. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Arnold is widely recognized as one of the most efficient global illumination renderers, adopted by over 500 studios and thousands of independent artists around the world. It has been instrumental in creating stunning visuals for award-winning films like *Ex Machina* and *The Martian*, as well as hit TV series such as *Game of Thrones*. Its popularity continues to grow among professionals who demand top-tier rendering performance. Chris Bradshaw, Senior Vice President at Autodesk Media & Entertainment, emphasized that the acquisition aligns with Autodesk’s mission to empower creators. “Efficient rendering is becoming more critical than ever in 3D content creation,” he said. “By bringing Solid Angle into our ecosystem, we can enhance our product workflows and develop next-generation cloud-based solutions that help studios scale their production capabilities.” Marcos Fajardo, founder of Solid Angle, expressed excitement about the partnership. “Autodesk shares our vision for improving computational efficiency and simplifying the rendering pipeline,” he said. “With their resources, we can accelerate development, expand our marketing efforts, and better serve our growing user base. Together, we’re tackling complex challenges in rendering and beyond.” As part of Autodesk, the Solid Angle team will continue to evolve Arnold while maintaining its standalone availability across major platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows. It will also remain compatible with third-party applications like Houdini, Katana, and Cinema 4D. Autodesk’s 3ds Max and Maya will still support other third-party renderers, ensuring flexibility for users. Bradshaw added, “We are committed to supporting third-party applications with Arnold. Our goal is to enhance collaboration and productivity across all tools, no matter what our customers choose to use.” Pricing and licensing for Arnold will stay the same, with perpetual licenses still available. Customers can continue purchasing through their usual channels. In terms of business outlook, this acquisition is expected to have no impact on Autodesk’s financial guidance from February 25, 2016. This press release includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially due to factors such as integration challenges, market growth, competitive responses, and other economic conditions.
