in the description there is a section "Discreet was established in 1999 after Autodesk acquired Discreet Logic, Inc., and merged its operations with Kinetix."

while on the Autodesk site there is: "Autodesk Media and Entertainment - based in Montreal, Quebec - was established in 1999 after Autodesk, Inc acquired Discreet Logic Inc. and merged its operations with Kinetix®"

(first word differs)

A question: why does "discreet" redirect here? --Kallerdis 11:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

This page is for Discreet, which was bought out by Autodesk and renamed to Autodesk Media and Entertainment. Unfortunately, this can be confusing since many people (like me) associate the company with the Discreet name. Perhaps there is some way of making it clear that we're actually look at the "Discreet" page, not the Autodesk conglomerate page. Glennchan 02:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

Ack, I started a page on Discreet Inferno without reading this one first. Also, products like combustion may have their own wikipedia pages, so we should link to them.

[edit] Too many subjective claims, reads like an advertisement?

i.e. too many adjectives like powerful. or it's just phrased too much like an ad?

"Editors benefit from ..." (reads like an ad to me)

The FFFIS line of products should all go on one page, like this one or a specific FFFIS page. Glennchan 23:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing portfolio section since it's pretty redundant.
