Can Autodesk Inventor models be imported into Torque 3D?

by Nathan · in Artist Corner · 11/22/2011 (2:07 pm) · 3 replies

I'm wondering if it's possible to use Autodesk Inventor models in a simulation using Torque 3D. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thank you!

What formats can the latest version of Inventor export? I know that it saves out DWG's.

3D Studio Max can import .ipt files. You can only import the part files but not assemblies. I've done it but Inventor doesn't translate into polygons well and you get some really weird tris. So techincally you could go from Inventor to Max to Torque. But I doubt you would like the geometry.

Polytrans might be useful to you, it specialises in this sort of conversion. It's not cheap but it seems to get good reviews.
