Hey guys, I’ve googled and searched this forum already. It has been discussed but has been very software specific. I’ve received an STP file (Step file which I suppose is under CAD) from my client.
I am using Maya2012 and it opens just fine in there. Only issue is that it is made from Nurbs. Seems that nurbs is heavy to handle, and Vray RT doesn’t really support it, i’d like to be able to light this using Vray RT. Is there a way to convert this format into a high poly mesh?
Which software- I heard Modo can do this? Or which Plugin? Is there a company that does this and should I even be going that direction? Any information is helpful.
Ultimately, I need a polygon file for texturing and control. I tried converting the nurb patches bit by bit and combining them but it doesn’t seem to work that well. Thanks in advance for any advise! Complex nurbs are not easy to mesh in a good way. In the process the shading gets messed up pretty often. There are some solutions i know of, but some are quite expensive: • MOI.

Ive searched here, and found nothing. Also checked CGTalk, but not much more in the way of help. Im not in the position to go the Polytrans route, so Im looking for any other advice or help in converting or otherwise importing a Step file into Cinema. Convert your stp files into stl files use makexyz’s free tool to instantly convert stp files to stl. STP Viewer is a professional software to work with 3D files. It supports STP/STEP, IGS/IGES, STL, OBJ, SAT, BREP, DWG, DXF, etc. The software has a dynamic 3D section tool, measuring tools and allows to convert 3D files to different formats.
Can load stp and write fbx. Meshing is donw at export time.

() • Rhino3d. Nice nurbs modeling solution.
It has a meshing features. () I tries MOI with a very simple model (Extruded object with some booleans, chamfers etc.) and a quite complex machine model that seemed to tesselate fine, but crashed in the end because I tesselated too high. Rhino has a 64 bit version if you have a really heavy model. You’re mileage may vary and it depends on your model of course. But I would try these first before going to more expensive stuff.
• Click the Windows button, select Control Panel, and click Devices and Printers. • Close the Task Manager. Amyuni document converter 400 driver.
Both packages have test versions. Happy tesselating. While I don’t use Maya I was under the impression that it could not only mesh native Nurbs but also 3rd-party geometry. What you see on screen in Maya when displaying that model is actually a render-mesh (one can not shade Nurbs, in no application). All you needed to do is extract it. As you are already looking at a mesh I actually wonder why Vray for Maya should have problems to render it.

If the extraction inside Maya really fails, ask your supplier to give you an.obj instead, that’s what many Nurbs app can export. Alternatively, as draetsch already suggested download the trial of e.g. Rhino and do the conversion/export to.obj here. But be warned, the mesh topology you get will not match what you might be used to from Maya, so unwrapping and texturing may be challenging. Draetsch: I have to disagree concernign Showcase. I have worked with RTT Software before and they have really good tesselators.

But you will not get the software easily so that is not an option. Autodesk has aquired VRED recently.
Also a very good solution but expensive. I was going for a simple, more low cost solution as an advice here. RTT deltagen is alright but Showcase as always give me a better result. I also prefer the way Showcase arrange the polygons over Deltagen.
You can get Showcase for about $800. The other choice is Poly trans ($395.00).
