DISQUS

Charles · 1 year ago

I was able to import data from Solidworks to .3ds by using 3D Studio... I exported an .stl file. 3D Studio can read both .stl (meshed surface) and IGES (nurb surface). Then I could export to 3D Rain. I haven't done anything with that in a long time! I may have to check out the new version of 3D Rain, my version 1.0 created some pretty large flash files...

hey Charles good point. Use 3ds to get a 3ds. :) The new version of Swift3d is much better, smaller files, easier to use, may be a bit pricey if you don't use it all the time, but still lots of fun to mess with. do you do web stuff?

I used to. It paid for a hefty chunk of my engineering school. After I get done with taxes I plan to revamp my personal page; it is down right boring right now. I used Swift before to do fly-in 3D text, and rotating text. I'm afraid the site it went on is now defunct. I will have to download the new trial and see how it does compared to my old version!

Is anyone aware of a flash tool that allow manipulation / inspection of a 3D model? Perhaps Swift3D provides this?

I typically use 3DS Max for Swift3D/Flash stuff, but it's nice to know the workflow for doing a Solidworks model.

Hi! Thanks for an informative post!
How would I go about if I want a SolidWorks 3D put into flash and add interaction like turning it arount and zoom in/out?

Thanks!

Hi André, You would have to add some advanced scripting. Are you familiar with Flash at all? Check out FlashKit.com

I have just been looking this up myself & read that the new swift 3d has an export using papervision 3d which makes an interactive file!
