In order to find the best settings for the NURBS meshing parameters, I choose one part that has a lot of surface fillets and directional surface changes and exports it to Maxwell Studio with different Polygon Mesh Options to see how my surfaces will translate to Maxwell Studio.

Export via Maxwell Render plugin to Maxwell Studio Cleaned up file ready for export featuring reduced complexity, added details such as decals and a new layer organization. These have characteristic names that I also use in Maxwell Studio when creating emitters there, e.g. I also create special emitter and reflex surfaces that I later use in Maxwell Studio to create exact reflections and part illuminations. This also helps later to find the parts in Maxwell Studio much faster in order to apply materials and create the UV‘s.

Then I usually rename, organize, colorize (each object or group part gets its own color) and regroup all parts in a way that order to check if all necessary objects are correctly positioned and nothing is missing. Also, delete all things you will not see or need later in the final render. Normally, it is a good idea to check for multiple and double surfaces, unnecessary folders, and or blocks. My first action is to get all components and parts cleaned up, reduced, sorted, and reorganized in the Rhino Layers Menu. Usually, these files cannot be combined without generating many errors. There are files from graphic and UI designers with interface or surface texture elements, some of which have been produced, while others are new designs. There are files from product designers with new or modified product elements which are not production-ready. There are production files from similar products the client has already rolled out. CAD Data – clean up and exportĪt the start of most of my projects, there are usually all kinds of 3d files from a variety of sources and creators. A workflow example of creating photo-realistic visuals of a coffee maker for global advertising and packaging.
