Dear Dreamers*,
It seems that the cat is already out of the bag! It is time to
officially reveal what is the new home of Carrara.
So, here we go: Eovia Corporation is the new home for Carrara.
I can already hear you saying: "I am very glad to know that but this
Eovia name doesn't ring a bell"! This is not surprising; Eovia
Corp
is a brand new company. It has been founded in November 2000 by
former Carrara developers and managers. This company has acquired
Carrara from MetaCreations (now Viewpoint) in December 2000.
So, who are the people behind Eovia? A small group of true 3D
aficionados and, we believe, seasoned managers. All the founders are
developers or heavy users of 3D software. We all share years of work
on Ray Dream and Carrara. We think that our experience will ensure
that we understand the needs and expectations of our customers.
But this is not the only news of the day!
Eovia and TGS are contemplating to merge.
And this is where things get really exciting! TGS is the company that
develops and markets the famous Amapi. The unparalleled modeler that
includes: NURBS, Meta-NURBS, organic modeling, Coons and Gordon
surfaces, filleting and many other ultra high end modeling features.
All the features that the Dreamers have always dreamed to get without
daring to ask!
TGS also brings a well-established company with strong presence in
the US and Europe. This will ensure a faster return of Carrara on the
market and greater means for Eovia.
On its side Eovia brings Carrara the successor of Ray Dream and
Infini-D, the best selling suite of 3D software with several hundred
thousand users.
The result is a whole new company with an exceptional product line,
talented peoples, numerous users and a worldwide presence.
To learn more about these two news, visit our preliminary web site
at: www.eovia.com
Two press releases can be found in the Company section of the web
site.
As the news has leaked many of you have already contacted us to offer
help, images for the web site, objects, etc? The ones who know me
well also know that I believe that a strong Community of Users is as
important as the Carrara feature list. So, I can tell you that we are
more than willing to get images, tutorials, etc from our Users. The
Eovia web site is going to grow rapidly in order to become the number
one place for the Dreamers to exchange ideas, images, objects, etc.
Surprisingly ;-) , many of you have also questions about when a new
Carrara will be released ! It is a bit early to give firm dates but
if you read the Message from the CEO on our web site, you will get a
few hints. More about that next week on the list.
One last thing: I will be out of the office most of the week and will
be unable to answer to your questions before the beginning of next
week.
Happy rendering to all !
Antoine Clappier
President and CEO, Eovia Corp.
PS:
* Dreamers: I use the term of Dreamers for historical reasons. This
has started a while ago on the Dream-List, the Ray Dream mailing
list. But when I use Dear Dreamers, I also mean Dear Infini-Ders and
Carraraers! As this two neologisms sound awful, I stick to Dreamers!
