Okino's PolyTrans forms the basis of MAXON Computer's "Engineering Bundle," which adds dozens of top notch 3D CAD File Formats to CINEMA 4D

Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. announced today that MAXON Computer, developers of the industry leading CINEMA 4D animation and visualization package, will bundle Okino's PolyTrans product and its most used CAD and non-CAD translators with the new CINEMA 4D "Engineering Bundle."

With the inclusion of PolyTrans in the "Engineering Bundle", CINEMA 4D users will have access to dozens of additional 3D file formats. In particular, for those in the Industrial Design and Engineering markets, CINEMA 4D users will be able to import from such native CAD packages and file formats such as ACIS SAT, Alias .wire, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop, IGES (solids, surfaces and bounded surfaces), IronCAD, Parasolid, Pro/Engineer, Raindrop Geomagic, Rhino-3D/OpenNURBS, SLP, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, STEP, STL, XGL, VDA-FS and others. Also, all file formats provided in the base PolyTrans product are available to CINEMA 4D users. Optional add-on modules are available for other CAD formats such as CATIA v4 and CATIA v5.

The CINEMA 4D Engineering Bundle's customized tool set was designed to create professional-looking visualizations in mere minutes from a myriad of 3D CAD and non-CAD data sources. Users can easily create photorealistic renderings, simulate technical drawings or simulate freehand sketches.

"The new 'Engineering Bundle' is an excellent solution, which allows CINEMA 4D users to import 3D data from every major CAD package and file format," said Robert Lansdale, President of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. "MAXON Computer and Okino have been working together on a friendly, developmental-level basis since 1997, and over those years we have also provided personal, hands-on support to the CINEMA 4D user base who use our PolyTrans product."

"CINEMA 4D users who are new to Okino and our software should be made aware of a most important (to us) key company philosophy: we strive to provide excellent, fast and personal customer education/help, "hand holding", all-around friendly customer communications and technical support, for free. If a customer contacts Okino then they will always get an accurate and fast response from me, or one of my senior programmers, to guide them in the right direction for using our software. With 17+ years in the CAD conversion business, we can accurately answer all questions by drawing on a wide range of past and current real-world experience. Rarely does someone need help with using PolyTrans, but with so many 3D CAD formats to choose from it is often easier to learn from Okino and our experience rather to second guess an appropriate file format to use in a specific conversion pipeline."

"When it comes to importing CAD files we rely on the experience of Okino Computer Graphics. Their team has a proven track record of developing and supporting their CAD converters for nearly 2 deacades. Okino is an ideal partner for MAXON to deliver CAD import functionality for the CINEMA 4D Engineering Bundle. The responsiveness of Okino is also second to none," says Dirk Beichert, MAXON Project Coordinator.
