Okino’s PolyTrans Provides SolidWorks 2005 CAD Data Import Into the Newest Releases of Maya v6.5, 3ds max v7, Lightwave v8, XSI v4 & Others
Okino’s Industry Standard PolyTrans Provides Robust Support for Importing SolidWorks 2005 (and all other major CAD file formats) into the newest DCC/Animation Package Releases
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) February 5, 2005 -- In timing with the SolidWorks
World 2005 International User Conference & Exposition, Okino Computer
Graphics announced today that its popular SolidWorks CAD conversion pipeline is
now compatible with all newly released versions of Maya v6.5, 3ds max v7,
Lightwave v8, XSI v9 and others. This conversion pipeline, an industry staple
for the last 6 years, allows native SolidWorks BREP CAD assembly and part files
(disk based, or from a live running copy of SolidWorks) to be converted to all
major animation packages, 3d downstream file formats and VisSim programs. Okino
is one of the longest standing SolidWorks solution partner developers, providing
excellent and well refined 3D data translation solutions for SolidWorks users
and users of SolidWorks data.
Okino's NuGraf and PolyTrans software can
import geometry, hierarchy and materials (assembly data) from native disk-based
SolidWorks files or from a running copy of SolidWorks, and subsequently provide
high-end rendering, viewing and scene composition of the data, or have the data
optimized and then re-exported to all major 3D file formats and animation
packages .
“Our SolidWorks 3D data conversion system is by far our most
popular and most requested CAD conversion pipeline software,” said Robert
Lansdale, president and CEO of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. “We have dedicated
a great deal of effort into making our SolidWorks 3D import conversion,
repurposing and rendering pipeline the best in the industry over the last seven
years. We have seen demand grow quickly, demonstrating that SolidWorks is the
dominant solid modeler for its price range and market. Our pipeline solution
allows complete SolidWorks parts and assemblies, with all their nuances, to be
converted cleanly and professionally to all other major 3D file formats,
animation packages and visual simulation programs. In addition, our software
implicitly provides support for photo-realistic rendering and scene composition,
3D data and hierarchy optimization and terrific built-in polygon reduction for
handling those truly huge scenes that other downstream applications can’t handle
without reduction. Our solution is particularly popular for importing SolidWorks
assemblies into the 3ds max, Maya, Lightwave, XSI and Cinema-4D animation
programs. We also have kept affordable prices for all of our CAD solutions,
including free support and maintenance.”
“SolidWorks is the standard for
3D mechanical design software,” said Brian Houle, Partner Program manager for
SolidWorks Corporation. “Combining it with Okino’s product line gives engineers
the tools they need to do their jobs faster and better by allowing SolidWorks 3D
data to be re-purposed for additional downstream uses and applications.
Engineers and designers can now re-purpose 3D data to suit their enterprise,
including animation and rendering departments, documentation teams, product
manual creation staff, and external third party services who want to use
SolidWorks data in other 3D software applications that may not understand or
accept SolidWorks data directly.”
