Is there a way to align the facets on the vertical rounding to those on the upper and lower corners to help reduce the number of n-gons?Īlso is there an option that gives the equivalent results of the previous setting:Ĭurious if this would be a good way to export to 3DS Max (where NURBS aren't used)? Mesh first in Z, then export DWG. For now, you can use the tool, export, and then just Undo to keep your objects as parametric smooth entities. Thanks for your suggestion, we will see if this can be done. Yes, we should add the ability to choose these options to the Export options. lwo export options? Because I don´t want to loose all geometry parametric controls on Tech You can get what you want with formZ by using the Polygon Mesh tool and the No Triangles option!īut. The one on the bottom comes from Formz 7 Tech When importing in Modo, the geometry comes smooth as if I had modeled inside Modo.Īnd the rendered geometry is way smoother, without those weird 'fake' edges.Īnother example. With this, I can avoid undesired edges/triangles. lwo, MoI shows a window to control the way meshes will be exported. Now, we have the same box, exported from FormZ, imported into MoI. Notice the triangles, the same way that happened when converting inside FormZīecause of those triangles, it appears weird sharp 'fake' edges over faces when rendering in Modo. The picture below is the imported file.lwo in Modo. If not, I´d like to suggest the development team to take a look on it for this FormZ 7 release.Ĭonverted smooth solid into faceted solid in FormZ beta 7Įxported smooth solid to.

I ask you if there is any possibility to have better results when exporting from FormZ/Bonzai, like those a can get with MoI. Unfortunatelly, I can´t get the same results when I export geometry from FormZ/Bonzai3D.

MoI also has the abilty to control the way the mesh will be converted/exported.

Curved geometry goes with all quad faces, and I can get decent renders in Modo. I´ve tried the same sort of thing with MoI3d (another Nurbs software) and everything goes just fine. The worst one is having a lot of triangles in the mesh after convertion. I try to have a Bonzai3D/FormZ to Modo workflow, but whenever exporting geometry from FormZ/Bonzai3D, I face a few problems. I´d like to know if there is any better way converting or exporting smooth/nurbs geometry into faceted meshes with FormZ/Bonzai3D. Issues on converting smooth/nurbs geometry into faceted meshes
