Upgrading older versions of PolyTrans & NuGraf:
If you wish to upgrade a previous version of PolyTrans or NuGraf to the most recent release
then please send email to sales@okino.com with your
main serial number, add-on serial numbers and full registration information
(name, company, address, telephone/fax and email address). In return we will inform you
of the upgrade cost, which is based on when you purchased the product and with what
optional add-on modules. We will also take this opportunity to update our registration
database with your current contact information.
Basic Pricing Information:
To purchase a copy of Okino's PolyTrans or NuGraf you would:
Purchase a "base" package version
Purchase one or more optional add-on converter module packs.
If you are at all uncertain which products and/or modules to purchase then we would highly prefer to
validate those concerns prior to purchase, via sales@okino.com.
Important: we do not sell a 'one size fits all' shrink wrap package. Rather, we often tailor each
sale to the specific requirements of each customer. We prefer to exchange at least one email with
each pre-sales customer to ask these important questions:
From which source 3D program do you wish to import the data?
Into which destination 3D program do you wish to export the data to?
For what you perceive as "really large files", what is the total size on disk of the source file(s)?
If you are receiving or sending data to/from another person or company, what file format(s) are they making available to you?
NuGraf is the main package developed by Okino; PolyTrans is a simplified, derived version of NuGraf for those who just want a minimally user interface for performing data conversion.
PolyTrans & NuGraf (for Windows) will also run fine on an Apple Mac machine using Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Okino's PolyTrans-for-Maya is a Windows PC product only.
Additional add-on modules are available separately (see below). Discounts are available when multiple add-on modules
are purchased together.
Every copy of PolyTrans & NuGraf (for Windows) ships with the PolyTrans-for-3dsMax native
plug-in module for 3ds Max; these allow 3ds Max to natively import/export all of the stand-alone
PolyTrans supported file formats (and also forms one side of Okino's unique 3ds Max + Maya conversion
pipeline). This is actually one of our "main products" relative to our user base demands. As a global misunderstood
problem, note that no program cannot read/write the .max file format without a resident copy of 3ds Max on your machine.
Every copy of PolyTrans & NuGraf (for Windows) ships with the lesser used PolyTrans-for-Director native
plug-in importer module for Adobe Director; this allows Adobe Director to natively import
all of the stand-alone PolyTrans supported file formats.

Add-On Converter Modules Pricing Synopsis (for Microsoft Windows):
Product Code
Add-On Module Description
Price (U.S$)
CAD/Pack
Autodesk Inventor importer, DWG importer, IGES 5.3 import and export (surface-based IGES - 144/142/128), Solid Edge import and SolidWorks import. Please use the Granite/Pack for all IGES-based conversions.
PTC Granite importer licenses: ProE® native parts & assemblies, PTC .neutral files,
ACIS® SAT, IGES (solids), Parasolid®, Pro/DESKTOP®, STEP & VDA-FS.
Provides import of crack-free, BREP solids CAD files. The primary and core use of Granite to Okino
customers are: ProE, IGES solids, STEP solids and Parasolid.
The Granite/Pack is licensed directly from PTC and is one of the most stable, universally used
technologies for handling native ProE files, IGES, STEP and Parasolid amongst the Okino user base.
For our animators who have never dealt with the CAD world, Granite comes with a standard one year
of free updates and maintenance. After that period you can optionally upgrade it again anytime in the
future when needed. Statistically, our users upgrade Granite between 1.0 and 2.5 years after the
last purchase. The Granite/Pack license you purchase is perpetual and will not expire, but you will
need to renew the PTC maintenance in the future to obtain newer versions released by PTC. You are not
locked-in to buying this maintenance every year. The Granite/pack also includes the
Okino 'surface-based' IGES importer as a complement to the 'solids-based' PTC IGES importer.
Note: this is the only software available on the market which imports native,
encrypted PTC ProE files using a real, licensed copy of ProE Granite from PTC.
$395 license with standard one year of maintenance and updates from PTC.
It is common for about 1 in every 2 Okino customers to buy multiple add-on packs, either at the time of purchase or some time later.
The following discounts apply when 2 or more optional
add-on converter packs are purchased at the same time, or within 30 days of each other.
The Triple/Pack is the most cost effective and advanced collection of CAD modules on the market. For those who have never purchased CAD conversion
software before, the average price in the MCAD industry for a single CAD converter is in the $1500 to $2500 range.
More importantly, Okino does not use reverse engineered CAD modules as is done by others, but rather
licenses the industry standard CAD geometry engines from Autodesk (Inventor, DWF), Dassault Systemes (CATIA),
PTC (Pro/E, Creo Elements/Pro), Solid Edge (Siemens), SolidWorks, Spatial (ACIS solids engine), UGS/Siemens (JT Open toolkit) and others. The
Triple/Pack includes all related CAD vendor licensing fees, royalties and the first year of maintenance due to these vendors.
A resident copy of Maya is required to run the native PolyTrans-for-Maya plug-in system. A resident copy of Softimage is required to run the native PolyTrans-for-Softimage plug-in system; however, the dotXSI import and export converters can run in any Okino product without Softimage present.
The "Granite/Pack" converter suite will allow you to import from all major 3D CAD "solids" (BREP based) file formats,
view the models, optimize the models, and re-export to all Okino supported file formats. These converters can also be accessed directly inside 3ds
Max (via PolyTrans-for-3dsMax), Maya (via PolyTrans-for-Maya), Softimage (using PolyTrans-for-Softimage) and Macromedia Director (using PolyTrans-for-Director). The Okino implementation of the Granite importers work just wonderfully and are completely robust.
A resident copy of Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge or SolidWorks is not necessary to read in these
native files but in most cases it will provide for more flexibility and control. If you do not own a copy
of Solid Edge or SolidWorks, and you wish to have complete control over the tessellation mesh density, then
it is recommended that you use the Parasolid .x_t file format from the Granite/Pack, else use the CAD/Pack (99% of our customers
use the CAD/Pack for Solid Edge or SolidWorks native imports).
"CAD/Pack" is the successor to the older "WIN/IGES" license. "DCC/Pack" is the successor to the "Soft/WIN" license. The dual "CAD-DCC-Pack" is the successor to the "Win-All-AddOns" license.

ACIS SAT, CATIA v4+v5 Add-On Modules Pricing (for Microsoft Windows):
The following CAD importer modules for Okino software are based on the defacto industry standard
ACIS SAT and CATIA v4+v5 components from Spatial Corp and its parent company Dassault Systèmes (the
makers of CATIA). For those people who have never purchased high-end CAD software before, you need
to be made aware that this specialized Spatial-based software is sold via an upfront license fee and a
per-year reoccurring maintenance fee, as stipulated by Spatial Corp.
Note: these are very specialized converter modules. For non-enterprise users, we have always
recommended using IGES solids (via our Granite/Pack license) to import from CATIA v4+v5. For ACIS SAT,
you can import those files via the Granite/Pack license, but that uses a reversed engineered version
developed by PTC Corp - Spatial is the owner + creator of the ACIS SAT file format so the best way to
import all versions of the .sat file format is via this specialized Spatial ACIS SAT importer.
This is the defacto industry standard for importing ACIS SAT (text) or SAB (binary) BREP solids-based files, as it uses the licensed Spatial ACIS modeling engine. All versions of SAT/SAB files are supported up to the current ACIS modeling engine release. File extensions supported = .sat and .sab.
Imports and processes BREP solids-based geometry files stored in the CATIA v5 native parts and assembly file formats. File extensions supported = .CATPart and .CATProduct.
** IMPORTANT ** Spatial Corp. licenses its CATIA and ACIS SAT licenses on a per-year basis
(this is not an Okino policy). The licenses
are not perpetual, as are often the case with high-end CAD modelling software like CATIA.
Each year the license has to be renewed via the yearly 'maintenance fee' noted in the above table. Okino personally contacts its
users of the Spatial converters at month 11 and just before month 12 to remind them of the pending
maintenance renewals. If the maintenance is not renewed then the CATIA and/or ACIS licenses will expire.
Spatial Corp. requires that the maintenance fee be paid yearly, starting with the initial purchase.
If you let the maintenance payment lapse (and let the license expire as a result), then decide to
start paying them again at some undetermined time in the future to re-start the license,
a "re-instatement fee" will then be due to Spatial Corp.
Resellers may sell for less (please contact one of our international resellers for exact pricing).
'JT Open' Add-On Modules Pricing (for Microsoft Windows):
The following CAD import/export modules for Okino software are based on the defacto industry standard
JT Open toolkit components from UGS.
This is the defacto industry standard for importing JT geometry files. All versions of JT files are supported up to the current UGS JT Toolkit release.
This is the defacto industry standard for importing and exporting JT geometry files. All versions of JT files are supported up to the current UGS JT Toolkit release.

Granite/Pack Overview:
Okino's Granite/Pack is the core back-bone of Okino's BREP solids-based CAD conversion pipelines.
Click here for an overview of the CAD file formats
supported, a feature list and the screen snapshots of the importer wizard panels. A succinct selection
of imagery created by users of the Okino Granite/Pack can be viewed online here.
This suite of CAD importers is one of Okino's all time most popular solutions for our CAD customers,
in particular for its use in handling native and encrypted Pro/Engineer (Creo Elements/Pro) files (there is technically no
better solution to import Pro/Engineer data),
and for all variations of IGES+STEP+Parasolid BREP solids files. It is our
'work horse' CAD importer pipeline and the backbone for many of our customers' CAD conversion
requirements. Note that you would use the alternative Okino CAD/Pack-based converters for Autodesk
based CAD file formats (Inventor, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Revit), DWF/DWG, Solid Edge and SolidWorks.
It is in the best interest of Okino customers to own this module for most of their CAD conversions, except for the
specialized cases covered by our CAD/Pack. The Dual-CAD-Granite/Pack license will handle almost any
combination of source CAD data that you may be provided by clients and as such is the logical choice
of software to purchase.
For Pro/Engineer (Creo Elements/Pro) data users, this module inserts a real, live running copy of core Pro/Engineer software
inside of Okino software, allowing for the perfect import and translation of encrypted Pro/Engineer files, up
to the most recent version. No intermediate or reverse engineered file formats are used to convert the
Pro/Engineer data, as is used in all other non-Granite related Pro/Engineer conversion pipelines.
Okino is by far one of the most active and ardent users of the PTC Granite BREP-solids kernel and
as such provides very strong CAD conversion through this pipeline. Okino has been the primary provider of
Pro/E conversions software since the mid 1990's, using the real ProE software from PTC - we do not use
reverse engineered toolkits, or secondary file formats, to import ProE data so the data conversion process is
always ensured to be error free.

CAD/Pack Overview:
The Okino CAD/Pack is one of the two core, staple add-on modules used to convey CAD data into Okino's stand-alone PolyTrans &
NuGraf packages, as well as PolyTrans-for-3dsMax, PolyTrans-for-Maya, PolyTrans-for-Softimage, PolyTrans-for-Director, and other OEM licensed products.
Converter specific information can be found in these Okino WEB pages:
Autodesk Inventor,
DXF/DWG (with ACIS solids in DWG files),
DWF-3D (the preferred file format to import data from Autodesk CAD products other than Inventor),
Solid Edge and
SolidWorks. Note: all IGES conversions should be
done via the Okino Granite/Pack module and 'BREP solids-based IGES files'.
Okino has been actively involved with developing our own CAD converters starting in 1988, which equally applies
to our CAD/Pack module. We don't "write"
converters but rather "nurture" them over years and years to handle all varieties of data that our
customers often send our way.

Click on the "Imp" or "Exp" underlined links to review the online documentation for the respective converter modules.
DWG, DWF and IGES are imported from disk-based files whereas Inventor, Solid Edge and SolidWorks
either import from disk-based files or they can use "Automation" to query highly accurate data from
a running copy of Inventor, Solid Edge or SolidWorks.
Invariably the Inventor, Solid Edge and SolidWorks importers do not need to be modified when newer versions of their respective host programs are released,
and thus the version numbers listed should in no way hinder the execution of the importers.
‡ The "5.3" version for the IGES importer has little bearing on the import of IGES data. All you really need to do is export from your source CAD package
as "Surfaces" or "144/142/128 Trimmed NURBS surfaces with uv-space trim curves".
‡ There are 3 major types of IGES files and hundreds of sub-variations. There
is the 1980's "bounded surfaces" variation, the 1990's "surfaced NURBS" variation and the 2000's era
preferred and modern "BREP solids" variation. As such, the IGES importer in the Granite/Pack is now the
defacto method to handle all such variations of the IGES file format. Note: in this day and age you should
always export "IGES solids" files from your source program and not 144/142/128-based "IGES surfaces", which is the
default option (for example) by Pro/Engineer (Creo Elements/Pro).
‡ Many potential Okino customers wish to convert polygon data back to trimmed NURBS, or polygons to solids, simply by exporting to the Okino IGES exporter.
This is not possible, even if you don't want to believe it! You will need to purchase a "surface reconstruction" program which allows you to interactively reconstruct a NURBS model out of a mesh
model, and only then be able to export a newly reconstructed NURBS surface to an IGES file. In the end these same people often just re-model the mesh mode
in their favorite 3D solids modeler. We can refer you to several companies which sell surface reconstruction software:
headus, CySlice v3,
inSpeck, Inc.,
Raindrop Geomagic,
ParaForm and
RapidForm.
DCC/Pack Overview:
The DCC/Pack contains our most developed and heavily used converters dealing with the common "Digital Content Creation"
animation and modeling programs, as well as VizSim (OpenFlight). While some people perceive Okino to be a "CAD only" company,
in reality almost all of our development and complex technical work focuses on DCC-based conversion
software (on top of which all of our CAD software sits for import into these animation-based programs).
To many people these may seem to be just generic import and export converter modules, but "under the hood" these
modules are the life blood of many an Okino programmer. For example, converting between 3ds Max and Maya (via the native PolyTrans-for-3dsMax and
PolyTrans-for-Maya plug-in systems) is a multi-decade "occupation" at Okino for which we continue to clone the common functionality of 3ds Max and Maya into the core Okino
toolkit software (and related interfaces) so that raw, mostly unmodified data can flow between these two programs using PolyTrans as the common stepping stone.

These converters are grouped together in the DCC/Pack as they are developed in unison so that data can flow fairly evenly between any two DCC-based animation
or VizSim packages. Okino's known forte has been in providing hands-on, developer-based support to our customers to ensure that these converters work well in
production pipelines (and some customers use our converters in the most unique ways!). Note that the PolyTrans-for-3dsMax converters can be scripted using MaxScript,
the PolyTrans-for-Maya converters using MEL, and the other Okino converters using Okino's VBscript or JScript based scripting language.
PolyTrans-for-Maya runs inside Maya as a native plug-in system (and
requires a resident copy of Maya). This allows a Maya user to easily access all of the stand-alone Okino
converter modules. To convert
data to/from 3ds Max use the Okino ".bdf" scene transfer file format and the native PolyTrans-for-3dsMax plug-in
system on the 3ds Max side. To convert data to/from
Softimage use the .dotXSI file format from the Maya side. To convert
data to/from Lightwave use the Lightwave import/export converters
from the Maya side.
PolyTrans-for-Softimage is a "proxy" plug-in system for Softimage
which allows the Okino stand-alone import/export converters to be accessed directly inside Softimage,
by way of the dotXSI file format and the Okino PolyTrans|ProServer technology.
Okino's OpenFlight exporter is unique in the fact that it can read
from newer OpenFlight file formats and write to the much older 14.2 file format; the
14.2 file format is still quite common in the military VizSim markets. Okino writes its own FLT exporter module and has complete control over its development and
refinement. The FLT importer utilizes the Presagis OpenFlight DLLs to do all the parsing while custom Okino code walks the database tree and converts the "node based"
VizSim information to scene graph data more acceptable to the common animation programs.
