And a good way of lining up software partnerships too? Modo for one?

....very much guys,
glad you like this rope-Dancer !

Viacad and Modo make a nice combination for me..
but i have to add here that the .obj files comming out of
viacad are not always very workable once imported in Modo

So sometimes i have to use MoI as a iges to obj converter.
and even MoI makes a mistake once in while;-)

So..the right conversion-method for transporting a model succesful between
applications...remains a very
delicate step !

Interesting- because I've found that importing OBJ files into Cheetah3D has given me a few headaches- mainly with flipped normals, but I have had no problem importing from VC into Autodesk 3DS Max.

Hmm- I'm slowly changing my mind, as I too have been running into some new problems. :confused:

Corien, I seem to be having better success now (fingers crossed).

I'm;

1. Exporting from VC as an OBJ file

2. Importing into 3DS Max as OBJ

3. Exporting from 3DS as a 3DS file

4. Re-importing as 3DS file. (Now I can explode faces, and apply textures as if the model was originally built in 3DS).

Perhaps the same behaviour is possible in Modo?
