TopSolid to Blender

Unread post by Robert »

Our clients are getting more and more demanding with presentation quality and most of the cabinet softwares have good rendering capabilities. I've been exporting from TS to .vrml format and importing into Blender for it's rendering capabilities in the Cycles rendering engine. I'm not a programmer and do not now code but to link TS to Blender link seems that it would not be a big undertaking. Attached are a few vanities that were rendered in Blender.

CAD_73, do you just import the geometry into Blender or do you import the materials also? I've seen your YouTube channel before, it seems you're quite proficient at Blender, I'm trying to migrate to Blender from Luxology/Modo, it has been a difficult transition, I think I'm getting too old for change. Which Yacht company do you work for?

Oliver, good to hear from you, I hope you and your family are doing well. Any possible link from TS to Blender in the future? :D

Hi Robert,

Indeed I only import the geometry into Blender.
I have a large library with materials I can add later.
I don't have experience with Luxology/Modo.

We work for several Yacht company's and we're specialized in TopSolid engineering for Luxurious Interiors.
