Hi Rudl, it probably will only attempt to read in surfaces or solids from a NURBS file and not just wireframe curves.

So that's one thing to make sure of - that you don't just have a model created with curves only, you have to have created surface and solid objects before a rendering program will generally be able to use your data.


Also I believe that Augenblick is currently in what is called "alpha" release, which means it is in a very early stage in development and still has a lot of stuff that is being worked on.

So it is certainly possible that the problem you are seeing is something that they need to tune up in Augenblick.

The Augenblick discussion forum is here: http://forum.numenus.de/ and there is a bug Report section, you might try posting your problem 3DM file to there and see what they say.

Hallo Michael,
I thought Augenblick is made as a special nurbs renderer. When I opened the folder with the moi files the weren`t shown.

I asked it in AugenblickĀ“s forum, too.

Hi Rudl,

Hmmm, well I'm not really sure why that would be - you will probably need to find out from the Augenblick developers about why their software works in a particular way.

It sounds like they probably do not support the 3DM file format.

3DM is not the only way to have NURBS data stored in a file though, there are also a variety of other kinds of file formats that can have NURBS in them, some common ones are IGES (.igs), SAT, and STEP (.stp) formats.

They probably read one of those other kinds of NURBS file formats and not 3DM.

Probably supporting 3DM format would be a good feature request to ask them to implement...

THank you. HavenĀ“t known that there are other nurbs files then these of Rhino and Moi. I thought .sat is acis solid and so on. Tomorrow I will ask them if it is planned to implement .3dm.

Well yes, that's also true - but ACIS solids are made up of NURBS surfaces.

The solid has surfaces that are organized and connected together at shared edges, but it is still like a kind of container of a list of surfaces.

I asked in the Augenblick Forum for .3dm support. Good news; it will be implemented in V 0,8 or latest in V 0.9 release.
