Amapi was a 3D modeler created by Yonowat S.A. that incorporates both polygonal modeling and NURBS surface modeling. Amapi was used to create models for industrial design, architecture, interior design, furniture, exhibit design, packaging, bottling, illustration, video games and multimedia. The name of both the company and the software originate from a common saying by the cartoon character Droopy: "You know what? I'm happy.". Amapi offered an original interface compared to other contemporary modeling software. The software divided modeling into three main activities: construction, modeling, and assembly. Switching between these three activities was accomplished by swiping the cursor against the right hand side of the screen, an example of a gestural user interface. == History == Originally developed by Yonowat S.A. in 1993, Amapi was sold to Template Graphics Software in 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=TGS Signs Definitive Letter of Intent to Acquire Yonowat S.A., Maker of Popular Amapi 3D Modeler. )〕 TGS developed and sold the software under it's Eovia brand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Eovia+Corporation+Ships+First+Cross+Platform+Web+Export+Tool+for...-a089418463 )〕 In 2006, Eovia sold the Carrara and Amapi based Hexagon software products to DAZ 3D, while Amapi was sold to e frontier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date=July 18, 2006 )〕 In 2007, e frontier closed it's French offices and dissolved the Amapi team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date=July 31, 2007 )〕 In 2008, e frontier sold the Amapi asset to Smith Micro.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Smith Micro Software Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2007 Results )〕 Smith Micro sold version 7.5 of Amapi Pro for a few years on its web site, but apparently did not continue to develop the software.
