Bauhaus Software Inc., a new digital visual effects provider, has formed a strategic partnership with TVPaint Developpement Inc. for product development, marketing and distribution of TVPaint technologies. Bauhaus Software and TVPaint are combining their expertise to develop a new generation of cross platform computer graphics software for visual effects artists, video professionals and animators. These new products will be sold and distributed under the Bauhaus Software brand.
The Bauhaus product line will comprise a suite of realtime software solutions for the creation and manipulation of visual effects. Bauhaus is pioneering Disruptive Technologies for the professional, semi-professional and consumer market spaces, with an approach that provides three key benefits: simplified creation of film-quality digital visual effects, realtime video paint and seamless integration with all major film and video standards and formats.
Bauhaus Software will support and guide worldwide product development efforts for TVPaint technology and products, as well as provide current TVPaint users with an upgrade path to the new Bauhaus TVPaint product line, scheduled for release in the fall of 2003. Bauhaus will also support all legacy TV Paint product users.
