Autodesk, a leading software company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker ADSK, has taken a significant step toward open collaboration by making its 2014 Media & Entertainment (M&E) support and learning resources available under Creative Commons (CC) licensing. This move includes 20,000 pages of documentation, 70 instructional videos, and 140 downloadable 3D asset files, all freely accessible for use, remixing, and sharing.
The decision marks a milestone for both Autodesk and the broader creative community. Cathy Casserly, CEO of Creative Commons, praised the move, saying, “This is a major win for Creative Commons and an even bigger win for the global design community. By embracing CC licenses, Autodesk is helping to foster a culture of open knowledge and shared innovation.â€
The initiative was inspired by Paul Duguay, a 3D and multimedia instructor from Canada, who sought to adapt Autodesk’s content for his students. After discovering valuable video tutorials on the Autodesk 3ds Max Learning Channel, he wanted to translate them into French and share them with the wider French-speaking 3ds Max community. However, traditional copyright restrictions made this difficult. The introduction of Creative Commons licensing now makes such sharing not only possible but also legal and straightforward.
Chris Bradshaw, Senior Vice President at Autodesk, emphasized the importance of open collaboration in the digital age. “We’re seeing powerful networked communities emerge where people are eager to share knowledge, teach each other, and collaborate,†he said. “With Creative Commons, we’re giving users around the world a simple and effective way to access and build upon our resources. Imagine a Finnish translation of Maya features or a school in Bangladesh teaching 3D animation—this is just the beginning.â€
Beyond the M&E sector, Autodesk plans to expand Creative Commons licensing across its entire product line. This includes the Knowledge Base, Discussion Forums, and training materials from Autodesk University. Once content is released under CC, it can be freely modified, remixed, and distributed globally.
Autodesk has also joined Creative Commons as an Innovator-level supporter, alongside companies like Google and eBay, and numerous foundations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The company continues to support STEM education, ensuring students have free access to professional-grade tools and training to prepare for future careers.
