Export to Catia V5

Postby Ralphmax » Wed Mar 14, 2012 2:30 am

I use to draw 3D Sci Fi models in Catia V5.
For my latest models, I needed the figures of the crew members, humans and humanoids. After some research I found MH.
Then comes my question. If I draw a figure in MH or Blender, can I export it to other 3D programs? Catia accepts 3Dxml. Can I save a model in 3Dxml extension? How do I do that? Can someone please help or tell me a link where I can find a quick tutorial?

For static 3D models you can try to export to wavefront .obj
It's a format that almost every 3D application supports.

Using (the latest) makehuman you can also export to fbx if you need a rigged character. Maybe Catia supports that.

Thanks for the tip.
I'm trying to install the last Nightly Build to fully use the features of MakeHuman, then I'll check what can be done.
For now, I'll just need static 3D models.

hold off a bit on that if you are running windows right now the nightly is a bit of a mess
