I know I am too late for this but I really wish to know what happened to AW why it is called Alias , Did the 2 companies seperate or what??
no they just paid a consultant a huge amount of cash and it came back as alias being more known, in the automotive and eingeneering industry.
Thats what is uppose happened. Nothing broke off.
they got a write off for refounding their company.
Alias bought Wavefront and after the merger they dubbed the new company Alias|Wavefront. Sinc ethen the technology from Wavefront has been absorbed into Maya and since Mark Sylvester left (he used to work for Wavefront) they decided to drop the Wavefront part of the name and rebrand the company. For me the worse part of this is the chaotic transition of the old websit eto the new..too many broken links and now lost oldie but goodie files that were there. I'm alos not particularily fond of the new logo..it's a bit of a cliche' I think.. whatever.
