Okino Ships Revised .3dm Rhinoceros/OpenNURBS v5 Import/Export Converters

By DE Editors

Ten years after releasing its first Rhino/OpenNURBS .3dm file format support, Okino Computer Graphics has announced that it is now shipping its rewritten, revised and optimized import/export converters compatible with McNeel’s Rhinoceros v5.

Now into its 23rd year of development, Okino’s PolyTrans|CAD allows cross conversion between many MCAD, DCC/Animation and VisSim 3D file formats and programs. Okino’s revised .3dm import/export converters work within the stand-alone PolyTrans and NuGraf products: PolyTrans-for-3dsMax, PolyTrans-for-Maya, and PolyTrans-for-Softimage. It also works within many third-party products, including 3DCreate by Visual Components, Cinema-4D and its Engineering Bundle by Maxon Computer, EON Reality,  NGRAIN military training products, and Pytha by CATS Software, Quest-3D by Act-3D, VirTools “4DC” .nmo pipeline by Realicon, and others.

According to the company, the newly released .3dm converters provide support for the following aspects of the .3dm file format: full cloning of Rhino’s recursive instancing of block definitions plus its nuances during import, recursive layer recreation, trimmed NURBS surfaces, NURBS curves, polyline curves, mesh geometry, import of child render meshes of Breps, 3D point clouds, import of 2D vector text annotations,  viewport cameras, ambient/spot/point/directional light sources, materials and diffuse+bump+environment texture maps.
