The Autodesk Media and Entertainment Collection includes Maya, the Golaem plug-in for Maya, 3ds Max, Arnold (with the option of getting a 5-pack), MotionBuilder, Mudbox, Character Generator access, ReCap Pro, and Autodesk Rendering.
You can also run Bifrost for Maya on up to 15 machines with each collection license, enabling you to process Bifrost-created simulations on a compute farm. Bifrost for Maya is a visual programming environment for creating complex effects.
Golaem is a crowd simulation plug-in exclusively available in the Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection and requires separate download for use with Maya and other 3D content creation tools. For more information, please read the FAQ here.
If you purchase the Media & Entertainment Collection online (via this page), you get a single-user Arnold license, which you can use on up to 5 separate machines. If you purchase the collection subscription from a reseller, you have the choice between receiving an Arnold single-user license or a 5-pack of Arnold multi-user licenses. The option to get multi-user licenses in place of a single-user license is only available if you buy from a reseller and doesn’t apply if you purchase online from this page. Learn more in this FAQ.
