The rumor, in Architosh's forums, is <a href="http://forums.architosh.com/showthread.phtml?threadid=277"; target="_blank">here</a>.



Summary: Apple is apparently thinking of snapping up a big-name 3D modelling/animating application. Maya and LightWave are both implied as possible acquisitions. Apparently, Pixar is hankering for LW's source code(?).



Apple is also making noises about CAD, although there are fewer details there.

    Funny, I didn't even look.



    Apparently MacObserver didn't either. It's a hot forum topic over there.



    Ah well.

    What does LW have that Pixar needs? I do know what Pixar has and what Apple needs. Renderman.
