3D graphics company Alias is set to buy fellow Canadian company Kaydara, a developer of real-time 3D character animation and motion-editing solutions. Kaydara provides services across film, video game and interactive mediums with products such as Motionbuilder and FBX. FBX allows animators to transfer assets between tools. Alias has pledged to continue to offer Kaydara FBX as a vendor-neutral format. The purchase is expected to be completed within 60 days. Accell-KKR and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan bought out Alias from SGI earlier this year.
