Power CatiaToMax greatly improves the work
flow efficiency for design visualization; Catia V5 users no longer have
to spend days or weeks translating their high quality surface models into
imprecise polygonal models or intermediate formats, and then struggling to
generate high quality renderings. Now with Power CatiaToMax, Catia V5
users can import their high quality models directly into 3ds Max / VIZ for
high quality rendering, animation, etc. without intermediate formats, and
without loss of precision. Instead of importing imprecise polygonal
approximations, our native Catia V5 translator leverages IntegrityWare's
precise geometric representation to generate extraordinarily smooth, crack
free renderings without polygonal artifacts. Power CatiaToMax opens a
streamlined portal to the advanced 3D modeling and rendering environment
of 3ds Max. Power CatiaToMax combined with the powerful 3D modeling and
rendering environment of 3ds Max / VIZ is the premiere solution for Design
Visualization of native Catia models. Dealing with large data is very
important, and Power CatiaToMax is designed to handle the large data sets
typical of CAD models. Power CatiaToMax also contains all the necessary
tools to cleanup, prepare and render Catia V5 models.
Power CatiaToMax leverages a state of the
art precise CAD geometric modeling kernel (SOLIDS++) that has been
integrated into 3ds Max. It performs dynamic tessellation at render time
to generate a render mesh with the appropriate level of detail based on
the size of the object in the view, eliminating the need for multiple
levels of detail. Power CatiaToMax is powered by Datakit's outstanding
translation tools for reading native Catia V5 models, and by
IntegrityWare's SOLIDS++ geometric modeling kernel.

Native Translation of Catia Files
You can now directly import native Catia
V5 model files (V4 models were supported with the initial Power CatiaToMax
release) for optimum Design Visualization throughput. Maximize your
rendering efficiency and quality using the native translation directly
into the excellent 3ds Max rendering environment.
Multi-threaded Tessellation
Speed is an important aspect of data
translation, and tessellation can be a performance bottleneck for other
translation systems. The Power CatiaToMax / Power UGSToMax tessellation
engine takes advantage of multiple processors by dividing up the work into
separate processes. Tessellation performance will scale with the number
of processors available for optimal performance results. The result is a
performance improvement of about 2x for dual processors, and about 4x for
quad processors.
High Quality Mesh Generation
The user has detailed control over the
tessellation quality; he/she can control the level of detail, the maximum
edge length, arc length, etc. The resulting images are therefore of the
highest possible quality.
Automatic and Manual Sewing Tools
Power CatiaToMax intelligently imports
the CAD data, and will automatically sew disconnected surfaces that belong
sewn together. Manual sewing is also supported for interactive cleanup. |

Editable Brep Object
Like the Max Editable Mesh and Editable Poly commands, the
Editable Brep command allows the user to easily manipulate sub-objects of
the BREP. For example, you can sew together faces, unify face normals,
flip face normals, trim and un-trim, project curves, apply materials to
faces, and other editing options. You can trim surfaces by curve
projections or surface intersections. One of the great things about Power
CatiaToMax is that even when your CAD data is not correct, you can use the
powerful Power CatiaToMax editing tools to cleanup the models before
rendering or animating.
Snapping to BREPs
Users can intelligently snap to imported
BREP objects for editing and cleanup operations. You can snap to edges,
faces, vertices, edge midpoint and end points, greatly facilitating
associative construction technique |
