eWeek Magazine says Adobe will discontinue selling Adobe Acrobat 3D as a separate product with the summer release of the 2009 version. Instead, the 3D technology will become part of the Professional version of the product.

eWeek cites unnamed sources within the company as the basis for their report. I heard this same news as a rumor last week at COFES. No one from Adobe attended the event this year.

This is unrelated but interesting. Autodesk sells more copies of AutoCAD LT than Adobe sells copies of Photoshop, according to Merrill Lynch analyst Jay Vleeschhouwer.

Google is now taking signups for a chance to be invited to attend this year's Google SketchUp 3D Basecamp. As we reported last month, Google is hosting the event at corporate headquarters in Mountain View, California (commonly called The Googleplex). Attendance is free but limited due to available meeting space, thus the need for a lottery to choose attendees.

Details are at the official Google SketchUp blog, and the 3D Basecamp home page.
