NPOWER Software - Advanced Modeling Plugins for 3DSMAX and RHINO

Important Notes. Please Read.

Power SubD-NURBS currently only works on Organic Quad Sub-D meshes. If your mesh has a minimal amount of triangles, the result still might be acceptable. Try previewing the conversion using the demo. Converting other types of meshes such as triangular meshes are a work in progress. If you would like to help us develop it, please contact us and send us test models.

Recommended conversion steps: Subdivide your mesh using 2 iterations of subdivision before converting them with Power SubD-NURBS. If you are using the turbosmooth modifier, please disable isoline display. Under the Modify drop down, scroll down to the "REMod" modifier which will convert the Sub-D mesh into a NURBS model.

Choose to Unlock your model using your SubD-NURBS credits.

For more usage tips please consult the documentation (click the "?" in rollouts and windows) or view our SubD-NURBS instruction tutorial which will take you through the steps visually

Power SubD-NURBS Demo Download is a partially disabled version that allows you to preview converted Sub-D models as well as see the number of credits it would cost in order to convert them. The Demo version leaves converted models in a locked state. You will not be able to perform operations on the locked models or export them. To unlock models please purchase Power SubD-NURBS.
