Power Translators are built from the ground up to solve today’s difficult problems of importing quality CAD data into 3ds max. The Plug-in has been battle hardened in the most demanding productions at some of the best 3d visualization rendering facilities in the World. The 3ds professionals spoke and nPower listened and developed the most advanced, best integrated, highest quality Max CAD translator on the market today.
Have you ever had to re-create a CAD model inside of MAX/VIZ? Power Translators is the answer to get those CAD models and assemblies into MAX or VIZ with the push of a button. Power Translators reads IGES, STEP, SAT, and Rhino and creates a Power NURBS surface/solid within Max to represent the precise geometry defined in these files. It can then create a mesh at render time to a specified user defined tolerance relative to the size of the object in the image. For example, a tolerance of 2 or 3 pixels will produce an extremely high quality image with very smooth edges that do not have polygonal artifacts. The Power NURBS surface/solid introduced by Power Translators can have materials applied at the sub-object level and is able to utilize most MAX Mesh modifiers (twist, UV Map, etc.).
Power Translators could easily pay for itself on a single project in time savings alone!

Although the product is easy enough to use, its functionality suffers when attempting to go from a high poly count surface model to a Solid model. The product does not have the ability to smooth the polygons after translation and therefore provides a very facetted model which is useless to a CNC machine. The ability to export a smooth solid model would have made this a very useful product that stood up to its description. Also, the translation process can be very slow if working on 100,000 plus polygon surfaces. If exporting a smooth model is not a concern, then by all means this product will serve its intended use well.
Excellent importateur d'IGES trimmés. Quelques petits défauts d'affichage dans MAX : gardent leur couleur si les objets sont gelés et n'acceptent pas l'affichage en mode boite filaire. A part ces détails, pas de problème.
I used the demo version first and it workd well...I was importing a full car STEP model in parts...I purchased it....then the issues began...Files would not import...and still has bugs...But Customer support was good...More than willing to help....but if you are in a time crunch....beware...this needs more work…
