Maxon Acquired Forger
Maxon acquired Forger, the intuitive, desktop-class mobile sculpting app for iOS in 2021. Forger offers an enticing entry into 3D sculpting as well as NGen IT's into portable workflows to expand the creative freedom of Maxon’s artistic community. Forger developer, Javier Edo, who started out creating visual effects and pipeline tools for award-winning production companies became a permanent member of the Maxon family.
That same year, Maxon also acquired Bang, a fully procedural 3D muzzle flare generator that enables the quick and easy inclusion of muzzle flashes to footage. Bang was immediately incorporated into the VFX Suite of products with several improvements from the previous public version, enhancing both the visual quality and user experience.
