|
|
3D design, engineering and entertainment software company Autodesk, Inc. has said that it has acquired certain technology related assets from Numenus GmbH, a software provider of high-end visualization technology used to efficiently render and review 3D datasets. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.  Founded in 2009 , Koblenz, Germany based Numenus specializes in interactive rendering directly from NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) data to provide instant, photorealistic design renderings for designers, engineers and marketing professionals. Autodesk said that the acquisition would see Autodesk software users gain more accurate visualization of surfaces and spend less time preparing quality visualization data. The company said the addition of Numenus technology will specifically strengthen Autodesk's ability to address high fidelity visualization for technical surfacing and advanced design reviews as part of Autodesk's commitment to automotive design workflows. Numenus' founders are now part of Autodesk as a result of the acquisition. |
