Autodesk of now is a collection of products and companies that vary from CAD software to online photo editing to 3D Studio Max to Maya and a variety of video filter and processing.

Also, autodesk is getting into photogrammetry -- using photo and video recordings from mobile devices as the lowest-friction way to do 3D scanning.
