Autodesk improves customer access to SketchBook

Is it good news or bad news that Autodesk has made SketchBook free and easy for all users? SketchBook started a revolution for Autodesk. It came out of the company’s industrial design portfolio that came with its acquisition of Alias back in ancient times … before tablets and before touch screens. Designers used it as a very high-end napkin. They were able to quickly work on a sketch and bring it into Alias Studio as a base for a 3D design that could be created with complex surfaces. The tools were created to design cars, planes, consumer electronics—products with touch-appeal.
