Gerard, Great vid well explained. I enjoyed following you, so I decided to try it myself on a huge STL of a lion's head I paid $3.50 for. (almost 400Mb!). A bit ambitious but the file was well formed to begin with. Created an auto surface but the IMA conversion is taking ages. SHame I cant add a pic for you
Hi Pete, sorry for the really late reply. You may want to start with a lower tolerance first- loosen the tolerance and use less surface details...also make sure that you do not choose the Regular Stream Lines.
@@GerardAlcini no worries it eventually did a brilliant job and I’ve since done some other reconstructions with really good results. Again many thanks for a great vid. Really got me off the mark.
Hi Fester...do you mean importing an obj into IMA? Yes, I will but it's pretty straight forward. If you have, say an OBJ from Maya or Modo, the import mechanism is directly available in IMA application (3dx) and workbench (v5).
Hi Gerard, thanx for your answer. I was trying to import an OBJ file (Maya or Cinema 4D). As you said, the import mechanism works. But after importing an OBJ there is not one single subdivision but a lot (more than 20). So I always need to combine those 20 subdivision surfaces to one. Is there an other way where I can get 1 sub?
Outstanding

Hi Gerard, thank you for that short tutorial. Can you make an other video to show obj -> 1 subdivision in IMA?

Blender obj should be fine too.
