Power Translators for 3ds Max

Power Translators for 3ds Max



Overview


Power Translators gives 3ds Max users a smarter, cleaner way to import IGES, STEP, SAT, Rhino, and other CAD data without the headaches of low-quality polygon translation. If you’re tired of smoothing issues, reversed faces, or having to re-import every time you need a different mesh resolution, this tool solves the problem at the source—by translating the original NURBS data instead of converting everything into messy polygons. It also supports polygonal objects created outside of SolidWorks, making it a flexible solution for complex, mixed-format workflows.

Designed specifically to handle the toughest CAD-to-Max challenges, Power Translators has been battle tested in elite visualization studios around the world. The result is a deeply integrated, highly reliable plug-in that consistently delivers clean geometry, fast imports, and superior control inside 3ds Max. When professionals demanded a better, more accurate pipeline for CAD data, this is the tool that answered—setting the standard for high-quality translation.


Features

  • Precise NURBS Representation - Imports precise geometric NURBS data for trimmed surfaces, solids models, and assemblies from IGES, STEP, SAT, and Rhino formats. Assemblies can be imported into a Power Assembly to maintain their hierarchical structure.
  • Power NURBS Export - Exports Power NURBS objects into IIGES , STEP, SAT and Rhino formats. Bring your Power Solids objects into your favorite CAD system.
  • Power Join - Combines one or more Power NURBS objects into a single Power NURBS object with optional sewing, merging, or intersecting.
  • Power Assembly - Maintains imported data's instancing hierarchy to prevent unnecessary duplication, reducing memory requirements and allowing for larger more complex data sets.
  • Resolution Independent Mesh - Power Translators 15 for 3ds Max imported NURBS objects are procedural -- allowing you the freedom to increase or decrease the polygon count of the View port Mesh or Render Mesh.
  • Power Editable NURBS - Direct editing of NURBS objects similar to 3ds Max's Editable Mesh tool. It includes: Hide, UnHide, Delete, Faces, Flip Normals, Unify Normals, Intersection, Attach, Detach, and more.
  • Power Navigator - Provides a full hierarchy browser giving you immediate access to objects nested in the history stack.

 

Benefits


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!
