Okino Computer Graphics Celebrates 20th Year

By DE Editors

Okino Computer Graphics (Toronto, Canada), provider of 3D data translation technologies and solutions, is celebrating its 20th anniversary of product development, which it started in January 1988.

Staying true to original goals, Okino's PolyTrans, NuGraf, and related software products have evolved into mission-critical software applications used globally by 3D professionals, enterprise companies, animation production houses, government institutions, and others.

Okino pioneered the concept of universal, bidirectional, and robust conversion of 3D asset data between all the main CAD, DCC, and VisSim file formats and programs. PolyTrans was the first to provide bidirectional animation conversion among all 3D animation programs and related file formats (3ds Max, Maya, Softimage|3D, Softimage|XSI, Lightwave, DirectX, U3D, Collada, FBX, BVH, VRML2/X3D, XAML-3D and more), and brought cost effective and robust CAD converters to the masses.

In an earlier release, Okino Computer Graphics announced that its SolidWorks CAD conversion system has been updated and is now available, at no cost, to current customers still within their valid maintenance period. The conversion pipeline allows native SolidWorks BREP CAD assembly, part, and presentation files (disk based, or from a live running copy of SolidWorks) to be converted to all major animation and authoring packages, 3D downstream file formats and VisSim programs.
