With the release of Maya 2014 and 3ds Max 2014 the Autodesk Exchange site makes it easier for plug-in, content, and tutorial developers to distribute and sell their content more easily to Autodesk customers.
- The Autodesk Exchange for 3ds Max can be found at: http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/Home/Index
- The Autodesk Exchange for Maya can be found at: http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/MAYA/Home/Index
Both Maya 2014 and 3ds Max 2013 have direct links to the exchange app store from within the product under the help menu. In Maya go to "Help > Exchange Apps" in the main menu. In 3ds Max go to "Help > Autodesk Product Information > Exchange Apps".
According to the Autodesk Exchange developer center "apps" aren't restricted to plug-ins, and can be anything a customer will find useful. For example:
- Plug-ins
- Standalone applications
- Training tutorials
- E-books
- Content
Note that at the current time there is no cost to sign-up and Autodesk is currently taking no commission, but may do so in the future. For more information on that see the Publisher FAQ.
