SAN RAFAEL (dpa-AFX) - Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) announced Thursday 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.
The transaction is expected to have no impact on Autodesk's guidance issued on August 18, 2011.
Numenus' founders are now part of Autodesk.
Andrew Anagnost, vice-president of suites, Web services and subscription at Autodesk, said,' Combining advanced ray tracing technology with powerful visual communication tools transforms how designers, engineers and marketing teams consume, review and share visual designs.'
Founded in 2009 and based in Koblenz, Germany, 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.
As a result of the acquisition, Autodesk said software users should gain more accurate visualization of surfaces and spend less time preparing quality visualization data.
