The day that Daz bought Eovia.

“April 25, 2006” is a date that should be mark in the calender for some people, In my mind I saw it as small fire in the Forrest that grew and grew on the WWW. A little history is perhaps in order now.

In the world of the 3D design very few programs exist like Poser. Poser is a software that deals with 3D character including figures like people, animal and any modification to them. Daz is a company on the Internet that took the trouble trough artist and the like, to offer computer generated characters of high quality to be use in the Poser software. Later they develop their own software name Daz Studio which as of this writing it is free to download at their site. Eovia is a software developer and offer software that creates 3D designs, like one of the products name Carrara and is a complete package a very good package.

The day that a simple supply company like Daz buys Eovia, a somewhat famous in France for the creation of programs like Carrara. Is like seeing the creation of Corel corporation which had their beginnings as a supplier of software add-ons for Xerox a desktop publishing software back in the beginnings of the personal computer age. We are talking the 8086 processor at the blazing speed 8khz (Yes, 8 Kilo hertz) with a good tail wind. I guess I am showing my age.

So what?

Money, thats what? Daz has become a force in the WWW, an position it place in the map by offering a complete software packages that rivals the like of Maya and offer a simple solution to the average designer whom don”t want to spend their life saving, an arm, leg and then a couple of years of not sleeping, in the study of 3D graphics an animation. More important Daz help establish in the community a common standard to which the rest of the industry can follow. Is like the beginnings of Microsoft with windows version3.1. Can we say “Bill Gates”.

How does this relate to people?

If you have not figure by now. An inexpensive software package with support for 3D and 3D animation to rival in quality to the movie “-Men 2,” “Spiderman,” “Average Joe,” “48 Hours” and work in graphics for printing airbrush murals quality in size (really big). This is software that influence people in the industry of video creation (Commercials), medicine, animators, music videos, advertising (TV and Internet), engineers and architects. Is a form of medium that allows a person to express their ideas in a realistic form to others with little effort.

Please visit their site and became familiar with a technology that may help you became familiar in a very young industry.

Do you think this is worth putting a mark on the calender?

Daz and similar companies like it, is a company to be familiar with if you work with computers, deal with stocks as an investment, became familiar with what is the computer industry is moving to and just want more than a glorify typewriter with a screen.
