Autodesk has announced the India launch of 2010 editions of Autodesk Flame, Inferno, Smoke and Flint software for editorial finishing and visual effects systems. It also launched Autodesk Flare software as the creative companion to Flame and Inferno.

"This year, we're especially excited about two developments," said Pankaj Kedia, Regional Manager, Systems - Gr. China, India & South East Asia, Autodesk Media & Entertainment. "First, we are launching Flare, which will be a great creativity and productivity booster for customers of our flagship visual effects software.
