Eovia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eovia Corporation was founded in November 2000, with offices in both the US and France. The company's 3D computer graphics software products are aimed towards professional and amateur artists with a focus on remaining accessible in price and usability.

On April 25, 2006, it was announced that DAZ Productions has acquired the US division of Eovia, as well as the rights to Carrara and Hexagon.

In June 2006, Amapi, Eovia's last remaining product, was acquired by e frontier, makers of 3D modelling software such as Shade and Poser. However, the future of Amapi's development is unclear, as it uses Carrara 3's rendering engine, which was sold to DAZ Productions two months earlier.
