You explicitly cannot use the trial version for commercial under the terms of use. They could just have paid $270 / year and saved over $60k

That's what you get for recording stupid "making of" videos. Just make the fucking product in silence and then show it when it's complete. I hate this modern mentality of having to show everyone every step of your workflow and letting people talk into what you are creating.

Autodesk is a dick for sabatoging an indie project like that. They can stay afloat regardless if they pay or not, but it is life or death for indie projects.

Fuck the "transparency" and the "making of", you just show the final product or "WIP" builds you have, the pipeline and everything else should be closed doors. Autodesk might be fucking dicks, but these guys are retards and totally deserve it, they aren't students at all.
>>913788
Based, for the shit quality they delivered, could have been made on Blender and would have saved their asses 60K, or better yet, don't be a retard using a trial version ON A LIVESTREAM, crack the damn thing, and just before publishing it, get the actual damn license because Autodesk DO SEND representatives to check on your commercial projects and that they are registered accordingly, specially on an Enterprise use, im not fucking kidding.

I was wondering about this a few days ago, I'm still a baby in the 3D industry and I wondered how a company can know if someone use a cracked/wrong version for a commercial projects.
On this case, the dev showed that he worked on a trial version but are the any other way for them to discover?
Also what prevents someone to work on a cracked version of a software, buy the licence at the very last minute and just release his shit.

No. Beyond some experimental/research like vertice signatures and shit, there is none. This is simply a case of a retard showing his workflow for no fucking reason other than being a retard.

Autodesk has a signature on every fbx you export that says the software version or something like that.. just re-export everything in blender and you are good.

Okay but is there a department at Autodesk that's responsible for checking fbx files from games and shit to check if they used a valid licence? It seems impossible to me but I don't want to underestimate corporate's greed.

Yeah this one was doomed from the start. But I still consider that to be fucked up. I mean it's kind of a marketing strategy to showcase your game's progress. But yeah it was really stupid to live a dev session on a cracked software.
