"I purchased this 15 years ago and have used it all the time. It has strongly contributed to our success during the years...it is fantastic to use your translator..." |

I love npower. |

I tend to be sent STEP files by clients for their product geometry and find your latest importer brilliant. Faultless complex object import, particularly those involved with moulding etc., lots of detailed ribs and smooth edges, no strange tears or holes. Fantastic. Thanks for a great product enhancer.

Thanks for some great products. You basically make what I do possible!

I am so thankful for your Support. I never had this excellent kind of Support! Really, we are so happy for your help. Everything works perfectly now...! So, thank you again for doing such a great job. |

nPower's Power Nurbs Pro Bundle and their Power Translators proved to be the best interpolation tools we have tested (we have been researching for the better part of 4 years and have direct connections with most of the major software manufactures). The integrity of the models in 3ds Max is unparalleled because it remains a Nurb's surface- The user has control of when and how they want to convert the model into a polygonal form. Since most of our animations are ridged body, there is no need to convert to poly's (no skinning or weighting). When we do need that control, conversion is a snap. |

Thanks for all the support, you have truely been a great help and your plugin is amazing, now I can create fantastic renders for my project. Thats so cool..;)

We here at Benet Laboratories, recipients' of the prestigious Baldrige Award (http://www.baldrige.nist.gov/PDF files/2007 ARDEC-Application Summary.pdf), utilize Npower's Translators Pro software. This software has increased our productivity by 200% and decreased our cost to our customer. Currently we transfer complex models assemblies from all our CAD software's (Pro Engineer, Inventor Pro and AutoCAD Design) to our multimedia system for simulations. We have transfered up to 1,000 complex parts at a time flawlessly within 20 minutes. I would recommend this product to any manufacturing or multimedia facility who simulates designs for presentations and simulations in VR. |

nPower products are part of our everyday workflow and are responsible for a substantial increase in the efficiency of my team. I cannot see how we could perform without them. Additionally, nPower customer service is bar none the best on the planet.

As you can tell we are
enjoying the software. We are getting great results...We
noticed a dramatic increase in productivity right away. What
used to take us nearly a day now only takes roughly an hour,
and with noticeably better quality.

This is actually the best
software I have seen in a long time. I work as a senior
concept designer in the film industry. On very big films
(currently Mission:Impossible3) where speed is very much the
order of the day. And your software has greatly increased my
productivity. Even more so with CNC machining becoming more
and more prevalent in the film industry. Being available to
export detailed models greatly increases the turn around,
especially when we have often little more than a week from
design to presentation prototype.

I’ve discovered something
that I’m really pleased with. We get both IGES and
STEP files from engineering. We prefer IGES but for
some solids in CATIA, STEP files are better. The
problem with STEP is that the files take so long to open
that you can’t tell until complete whether it will be
successful or not. I’ve been opening them in Rhino
and it takes hours sometimes, so I open the file when I
leave at night and hope it works. I just tried to
import a 17MB STEP file into 3ds max using Power Translators
and it only took about 5 minutes. This is great!

We purchased a copy of the Power

March, and are finding the product invaluable, so much so
that we would like 2 more copies!

I have tried out your product
this morning and we were able to translate a STEP file to
3DS Max 6 in about thirty seconds (rounds and all) which
previously took us nearly a whole day to translate across
– after translating separate parts (some minus rads). On
the strength of that, we have purchased your
Solids/Booleans/Translator bundle.

Thanks
for the fantastic service and support.... and taking the
time on the phone to answer every question I had. Your
pluggin
is exactly what I needed to squeeze the most from my current
toolset within the Max interface and workflow. Translator
is a must-have pluggin for owners of Rhino and any other
modeler which can generate the formats needed. Keep up the
great work!!

We got stuck with 100 separate IGES files and a week to complete a three and a half minute animation. With Power Translators, and just a few short hours, we were able to quickly translate all of the files into clean meshes with no smoothing problems. We met our deadline, and the results were fantastic. The project wrapped successfully! Thanks in large part to your software. Thanks again...you really did save this project. |

FYI, I was playing with Viz and imported the human head nurbs
model from the Rhino samples folder. First, I brought it in
as a brep. Radiosity processing took less than a minute and
rendering with the Regather option took about 3 minutes. Then,
I exported it from Rhino as 3ds and opened it in Viz. It took
nearly 15 minutes to process the radiosity and about 9 minutes
to render. I was quite surprised at the difference. (NOTE: Marlin
Studios supplied the bump texture.) See

I
would like to say that you have an awesome product. It's
a great feeling to be able to open 3dm files directly from
3dsViz, after a couple of years of exporting meshed 3ds
objects, and failing iges geometries from Rhino to Viz.
The Brep wireframe looks a lot better than the default Viz
wireframe, and for some reason I feel it's easier to pick
the right objects with the Brep wireframe.

I can't tell you how long I have
personally been looking for a solution to the problem of high
quality transfer to 3DSMax (I am talking years not months!). I
had actually just given up trying to achieve the quality we
require for very close close-ups (using VRML2 and PolyTrans)
having discovered that the main problem was in fact the way
Max uses smoothing groups and not the normals stored in the
CAD/VRML file. I found your software when I was doing one of
my 'there must be a way' web searches, actually looking for a
plugin that would allow me to utilize the polygon normals
instead of Max smoothing.
I think your plugin is fantastic, I know creating a BRep
modeller from scratch in no mean feat (I used to work for EDS
UG, and have spent quite a lot of time both in development in
the US and up in Cambridge (UK) where PARASOLID™ is developed)
and seeing one working in Max is quite a revelation! |

I have been extensively using all of the nPower software creating an entirely new art pipeline for my company. The nPower software is the heart of the new updated pipeline to allow us the flexibility that we require...after a couple of projects where I used nPower almost exclusively, the time savings was incredible. Not only that, but being able to go down the BRep 'stack' and get to other operations allowed me to make MAJOR revisions to a entire building in a fraction of the time it would have taken to start over from scratch. I have become so accustomed to using nPower software, that when I get to a computer that doesn't have it, I almost feel handicapped. |

We definitely trust nPower for translating our most critical CAD data and even beyond!!! You have no idea how everybody was trying to convince us with their own in-house tricks at IGES export and so on. We have tried so many ways and we can testify how great your software is. Truly. |

Love Power Translator
MAX iges Import = choked and crashed on a 50 piece 114 mb IGES file. Couldn't complete the process.
Power translators = 1 minute Import. No weird faces (flipped etc.) PERFECT

There is no better nurbs software if you work with 3dsMax...
No better surface than a nurbs surface...
We like our fillets well done ... our favorite boolean butcher is npower...
PowerNurbs has paid for itself with the first job we used it for...
There is geometry you cant build without nurbs in a reasonable timeframe...
Npower listens to their customers...
