German software provider Nemetschek SE is exploring a sale of technology used to create graphics in films such as the James Bond thriller Spectre and Spider-Man 3, according to people familiar with the matter.
The company’s media and entertainment business -- which includes the Maxon Computer unit that makes Cinema 4D software for 3-D modeling, animation and rendering -- could attract technology firms and financial investors such as buyout firm HGCapital, which owns computer graphics company Foundry Visionmongers Ltd., the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private.
