Graphics chip leader Nvidia announced on Monday that it has acquired software start-up Exluna, which settled a copyright lawsuit filed by Pixar Animation Studios. Founded two years ago by a group of former Pixar artists, Berkeley, Calif.-based Exluna specialized in tools for creating 3D images for film and other media. The company's products include Entropy, a $2,250 package of tools for rendering 3D images, and the free Blue Moon Rendering Tools package.
