Welcome to...

	This CDROM contain a demonstration version of Okino's popular PolyTrans Scene/NURBS/Animation Translation software for Windows NT/98/95.
	To install PolyTrans for Windows run polytran.exe, or else change to the Okino directory on this CD and execute the single 'polytran.exe' file.
	Please refer to the Okino WEB site for Silicon Graphics IRIX demos.
	The demos also include special plug-in modules for 3DS MAX v1.2, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0. These modules provide 3DS MAX with the capability to import/export all the PolyTrans supported 3D file formats, including Lightwave, SoftImage, IGES, OpenFlight, Wavefront and dozens more. Click here to see the current list of supported file formats on the Okino WEB site.

PolyTrans is a powerful 3d model+animation translation and viewing tool which creates "Render Ready" models of the highest fidelity and accuracy. Using PolyTrans you'll never again have to spend hours hand-tweaking a translated model since PolyTrans converts every aspect of a 3d model, including all shading parameters, texture mapping coordinates, texture map information and (for selective converters) animation data. Just load the translated model into your favorite 3d program and press the render button - nothing could be simpler! PolyTrans is completely unique as a model translation tool since it utilizes an advanced photo-realistic 3d rendering engine, a 3d geometry toolkit, a trimmed NURBS toolkit and an animation conversion engine to perform complex translations between the most popular 3d file format standards. The geometry engine allows PolyTrans to translate between a wide variety of geometry types including optimized meshed polygons with recursive holes, random collections of polygons, NURBS patches, bicubic patches and quadric surfaces (super-ellipsoids, sphere, toroids, etc). The animation conversion engine allows PolyTrans to link together animation programs which use completely different animation mathematics, such as 3D Studio MAX® and Lightwave®.

As for the internal rendering engine, it is utilized to preserve all rendering-related information during file translation, including geometry smoothing (normals), bump mapping (U/V tangents), (u,v) texture coordinates, vertex colors and vertex opacity/transparency data, where applicable. The rendering engine is also used internally to perform exact translation of all texture mapping information, including bitmap filenames, scaling, offseting and all texture projection methods. When combined with its ability to convert all material information, lights, cameras and geometry hierarchy, PolyTrans is truly the most unique 3d data translation program currently available.

PolyTrans has been carefully written to import, optimize and export huge polygon datasets with very low memory usage and with no resulting performance degradation. As a typical example, a 5Mb DXF file can be imported into PolyTrans within 9 seconds, optimized and split-by-layer within another 50 seconds, then have the data exported to the Wavefront format in another 20 seconds (for a 133Mhz Pentium). No other program can compare to the performance, accuracy and features of PolyTrans.

Top 12 Reasons for Purchasing PolyTrans:
