Data translation software imports NURBS
Data translation software is claimed to be the most accurate and efficient way of importing precise NURBS CAD data into Autodesk Maya instead of transferring imprecise polygonal representations.
The nPower Software company, a division of IntegrityWare, has released its Power Translators product on the Autodesk Maya / Autodesk AliasStudio platform Power Translators for Autodesk 3ds Max / Autodesk Viz has become the premier tool for design visualization

The result is a more accurate representation, and beautiful, precise renderings.
Autodesk Maya users no longer have to spend days or weeks translating their high quality surface and solids models into imprecise polygonal models, and then struggling to generate high quality renderings.
Power Translators Maya leverages IntegrityWare's SOLIDS++ precise geometric representation to generate extraordinarily smooth, crack free mesh and produce renderings without polygonal artifacts.
Power Translators Maya contains the following features.
Precise translation of CAD data.
Import IGES, STEP, SAT, Rhino.
Dynamic tessellation.
High quality mesh generation.
Automatic surface sewing.
Optimized for large assemblies.
* Precise translation - Power Translators Maya leverages the high precision SOLIDS++ geometric modeling kernel from IntegrityWare, to provide the most precise data translation of CAD models and assemblies.
SOLIDS++ understands the native NURBS-based format of CAD models, so it can import that data accurately into the Autodesk Maya environment without having to convert to imprecise polygonal formats.
Maximize rendering efficiency and quality by using Power Translators Maya, said nPower.
* Dynamic tessellation - Power Translators Maya allows the user to control the mesh quality.
Through simple user interface controls, one can increase or decrease the mesh precision to obtain the perfect visualization quality.
* High quality mesh generation - to produce the highest quality renderings possible, Power Translators Maya gives 'water tight,' crack free mesh generation.
* Automatic surface sewing - Power Translators Maya uses the advanced adaptive tolerancing and sewing tools from the powerful SOLIDS++ modeling kernel to automatically sew together surfaces that belong together, but may not have been exported properly.
Thus Power Translators Maya can even improve the quality of CAD design data.
* Large Assemblies - Power Translators Maya includes special memory management tools to effectively deal with the typical large CAD models and assemblies.
* How to Get Power Translators Maya - streamline exisitng CAD design visualization workflow with Power Translators Maya, and unleash the power of user creativity.
Power Translators Maya sells for US$495.
Power Translators Maya can be purchased at the nPower Software on-line store, and through various resellers throughout the world.
A free 30 day evaluation copy can be obtained by contacting nPower Software, downloading from the nPower Web site, or one of the nPower Software resellers.
