Ken Pimentel, Director, Industry Strategies and Marketing at Autodesk has posted a survey for 3ds Max Entertainment users.

“This survey is for those of you that work in the entertainment side of things (games, film, TV, etc.). Some users work on a range of industries, including entertainment. If you spend more than 25% of your time working with Entertainment productions, then please fill out the survey.

We're going to ask you about 10 questions about your work/role and then no more than 3-4 questions about what things we could improve. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes of your time. Thanks in advance for contributing - Ken“
