The producers of Maya and PowerAnimator, Alias|Wavefront recently
announced that they were jumping into the technical surfacing market with
the introduction of its new SurfaceStudio. SurfaceStudio, which will be
released later this year, will be a complement to the Alias Studio 9 family
of CAID products.
"The introduction of SurfaceStudio is a natural extension of the
Alias|Wavefront leadership in CAID tools. Our automotive customers, in
particular, have encouraged us to make this move and we greatly benefited
from their feedback and experience," explained Warren Pratt, president of
Alias|Wavefront. "Now we can provide our design customers with professional
technical surfacing tools which work seamlessly with our CAID products to
offer a completely integrated solution for the entire shape definition
process from conceptual design to the release of engineering surfaces,"
added Peter Mehlstaeubler, general manager of the design business group for
Alias|Wavefront.
