Turbo Squid and Autodesk Unveil the Autodesk Certified Animation Program (ACAP)

ACAP Program Re-Branded to Update Name from Discreet Certified 3ds Max Software Plug-In Program

Turbo Squid™, home of the world’s largest collection of royalty-free 3D products, and the Media and Entertainment division of Autodesk, Inc. today unveiled the new Autodesk Certified Animation Plug-in Program, or ACAP.
