Quote - Interesting, except for a few typos like misspelling Carrara half the time. One portion seems to be way off base:

"Feet on the street. Eovia has a strong presence in Europe, being a France-based company. The acquisition very likely will mean a slight change in the makeup of Daz3D business culture, though only slight since its likely many Eovia staff will be shown the door in North America."

DAZ didn't acquire Eovia Europe and says that the Carrara developers in the USA will continue to work on that program. Also Hexagon wasn't mentioned at all.  Seems this article is incorrect in some of its assumptions.  I think overall though the basic gist is correct.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for pointing that out. In fact, its a good thing too, since Bob Stockwell is a very experienced channel manager. The article has been updated.

But there are always casualties in an acquisition. It is rare that talented 3D developers get shown the door, but duplicated non-engineer functions will probably mean some folks wont be kept on after the transition.

Best regards,
