Untitled[edit]

What is the Wikipedia standard for articles about software which has changed hands many times throughout it's life? In this case, the software known as Elastic Reality was owned by several companies (I think even SoftImage owned it for v2.0 but I can't confirm that). So my question is should this article be named "Avid Elastic Reality" or just "Elastic Reality"?

What is the convention for other similar articles?

thanks

Avid owns Elastic Reality today, the trademark and everything, so it is appropriate to have it here. FYI, the software was I believe branded 'Softimage' in 1998 when they rebranded all effects software with Softimage. However Softimage is simply another brand owned by Avid. --Lucericr 01:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a redirection from "Elastic Reality" to here--Lucericr 20:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can corroborate the above response. The trademark is indeed owned by Avid and while it may have been called a SoftImage product, it was always an Avid product (after Avid purchased the product from Elastic Reality, Inc. in March of 1995).Pkivolowitz 23:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Guys, I am Mr.Gosh from Germany and I found out, that Elastic Reality is now merged into XSI 6, so So we can add a new Version that points to XSI or not? I wanted to ask you what you think about it? - 09:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.70.237.10 (talk)

All the appropriate information is already in the current article. There is nothing else to add. Elastic Reality itself is an application that is no longer available. --Lucericr (talk) 00:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
