Maxon, developers of Cinema 4D and a part of the Nemetschek Group, and Red Giant, tool designers for VFX artists and motion designers, have announced that Red Giant will be joining Nemetschek’s media and entertainment division in January 2020.
Both Maxon and Red Giant are already established names in the digital content creation industry. The merge is expected to finalise in January 2020, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
