I’m personally not a fan of Simlab products as I’ve always found them them introduce glitches into exports (the SketchUp plugins are the exception but still have their own peculiarities).
Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this but MOI is worth a try and it’s pretty cheap too ($295). http://moi3d.com/ <http://moi3d.com/> It’s created by the original designer of Rhino (Michael Gibson) but I’ve always found that the exports are better than Rhino itself The downside is that it’s not 64bit yet (coming very soon) so it can’t cope with really large multi component CAD assets but it’s a fantastic CAD tool to add to your armoury full stop never mind using it for it’s excellent conversion capabilities. Fully functional 30 day demo if I remember rightly, so it’s worth a try. > On 12 Jun 2017, at 21:56, Eugene Flormata <eug...@flormata.com> wrote: > > just tried the trail for simlab on an export > it seems to have issues, looks like the connecting nurb meshes are cleaner, > just some parts are fairly noisy, and still non manifold issues > would probably be easier if I didn't have to actually set up UV's for this > thing. the maya UV tools don't work on these non-manifold things > > although it seems if I import an obj over and fbx, mesh - cleanup doesn't > mess up the object normals, so that's weird > doing maya 2017 update 4, maybe something will be fixed > > > also > does anyone know if the cheaper simlab composer pro $200 is all that's needed > for exporting files? > > > On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 9:34 AM, Ed Manning <etmth...@gmail.com > <mailto:etmth...@gmail.com>> wrote: > +1 for SimLab. > > On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 2:22 AM, Enter Reality <3dv...@gmail.com > <mailto:3dv...@gmail.com>> wrote: > Guys, I've been dealing a lot with CAD files lately, one of the most > plug&play solution is to export the file from you CAD software ( I usually > use JT ) and import everything into SimLab and from there export in FBX...its > surprisingly fast and I never had export problems, except for CAD files using > Nurbs surfaces, but I haven't tested Rhino yet, so you can give it a try with > the 14 days trial. > > > ------ > Softimage Mailing List. > To unsubscribe, send a mail to softimage-requ...@listproc.autodesk.com with > "unsubscribe" in the subject, and reply to confirm.
