SmithMicro purchases E-Frontier
FROM E FRONTIER:
Announcing Smith Micro's Acquisition of e frontier's Graphics & Animation Business
e frontier is excited to announce an agreement with Smith Micro Software Inc., where Smith Micro will purchase e frontier's graphics and content business, as well as the e frontier and Content Paradise e-commerce operations.
Smith Micro has been e frontier's worldwide distribution partner for 4+ years, which is why you can now buy Poser®, Anime Studio?, Manga Studio® and Aquazone® at your favorite reseller, and not only direct from e frontier. This acquisition will help us grow our graphics product line and we?ll be able to accomplish even more than we have since the acquisition of Curious Labs in 2004. It will also consolidate Smith Micro's consumer channel under one roof.
As you know, Poser has become one of the best known software brands in the 3D realm. We graciously thank our worldwide community for that. The very first version of Poser helped fuel the beginning of the 3D computer graphics market. Following that legacy, the addition of Anime Studio and Manga Studio allowed us to offer more cutting edge tools for both aspiring and professional comic and 2D animation artists. We plan to continue building on that legacy as the graphics arm at Smith Micro.
The e frontier team will bring a great deal of value and diversity to Smith Micro. Smith Micro is committed to taking Poser, Poser Pro, Poser content, Anime Studio, Manga Studio, MotionArtist and Shade, as well as Smith?s own graphics products, Photo Animation Suite, Photo Morpher and Image Manager, to places we never could before. You'll see a lot more coming from us in the future.
