Was this not what Metacreations turned in to after divesting them selves from all the cool software that they had at one point. I think the technology is very cool, but to me, the demise of Metacreations was one of the saddest days for the software world. No other company has come close to producing cooler and more innovative software. Sure we have a lot more sophisticated stuff today, but back in that day, this stuff was revolutionary.

I could be mistaken about Viewpoint and Metacreations link, but my point about the demise of Metacreations still stands.
