Thanks Guy's.

The bend tool in ViaCAD is Pants! However I can jump into form.Z and do the bend, then come back to MOI.

the .3dm reader for Modo is not a problem as the meshes I'm getting out of MOI are rendering really well.
You just need to make sure you delete the polygon normal map in Modo after import or you get weird shading
issues.

Jumping back in now!!

Hi Roger, which file format are you using when you are seeing these weird shading issues - .obj or .lwo ?

If it is .obj then it is likely to be something messed up in Modo's .obj importer. But if it is .lwo then there is probably something that I can do to tune this up.

Generally for going into Modo I would recommend .lwo format.

If you have an example that causes messed up shading, could you please send it to me at moi@moi3d.com ? Possibly both the .3dm file and the polygon mesh data? That would let me check it out to see if there is anything I can do to fix it up.

Hi Michael,

It's happening with .obj and .lwo but I am only using .lwo to export to Modo. I'm emailing you a file
now and a quick modo render to show the problem.

cheers,
Roger
