If my memory serves me correctly, shannonhoppe, Amapi was included with Carrara 1 when Eovia took it over. So, I would presume that Amapi is now with DAZ and probably morphed into HEXAGON. And, being with DAZ, it would see no development at all, of course. Thank heavens, Poser went to Rendo.

Hexagon (1) was published by Eovia as a modeller successor to Amapi, while they also had Amapi Pro (I think) with additional features. eFrontier bought Amapi Pro (or whatever it was called) but I don't think they did anything beyond releasing the version that Eovia had, presumably, been working on.

EDIT: Oh now this is interesting, I just found something on Wikipedia about it being developed by Smith Micro. Hmmm .... that's weird. But SM bought it in 2008, and it looks like it remained at version 7.5 and development didn't continue.

Eovia actually had a more or less fully functional Amapi 8.0 in Beta that was discontinued when SM bought the program.
