Modeling

SpaceClaim

CB Model Pro

Rapid 3D organic modeling
Read OBJ file (custom primitives)
http://www.cbmodelpro.com/

CB Model Pro allows you to import custom primitives, specified by OBJ files. The mesh in the OBJ file is interpreted by CB Model Pro as the control mesh of a Loop scheme subdivision surface. As a result, there are several restrictions on the OBJ files that may be used as custom primitives:

  1. Only triangular faces are allowed (quadrilateral faces will be read and triangulated)
  2. The file must be fewer than 100KB in size and have fewer than 1000 faces
  3. Every edge should be adjacent to exactly two triangles
  4. Every vertex should be adjacent to at least 3 and at most 10 triangles (6 works best)
