Think it was back in 2006-ish that I purchased a combo deal from eFrontier for Shade 8 Standard and Amapi Pro 7.5. Loved the idea of there being a potential "unified suite" someday of Poserized tools. Reason I was curious about what happened to Amapi rights ownership after SmithMicro was for possible future enhancements within Poser. Whilst the tools from Hexagon were largely incorporated into Carrara, weren't the foundations of the Hexagon tools born from Amapi? Again tho, this was all just out of curiosity and daydreaming. If the rights for the defunct Amapi were just sitting at SmithMicro collecting dust then maybe there could be a collection of code goodies available on the cheap. Would have been a nice value add on the Poser purchase if SmithMicro would have rolled the Amapi rights in with the deal. But eh, enough daydreaming. Back to creating :)
