This table outlines the very basic differences between Okino's NuGraf and PolyTrans software products. NuGraf is the 'elder brother' of the more universally well known PolyTrans program. It has a fuller user interface designed for those that wish to spend more time within the software whereas the PolyTrans user interface was designed to be quite simple to learn and use. The PolyTrans user interface is basically the "Beginner Mode" of the NuGraf software. Okino only develops one program, NuGraf, but derives PolyTrans for ease of customer use. To read about the current main and shared feature list of both programs, please click here.

Please keep in mind that Okino primarily sells "CAD conversion solutions" which solve anything from common to very complex conversion problems of our core customers. We do not, in any regard, sell our software based on the user interface features listed partially in the following checkmark list. Many or most of the features listed in the following table are "nice to have" but have little to do with our software's usage as a primary CAD & DCC conversion system.

Feature PolyTrans? NuGraf?  More extensive user interface for 3D model manipulation, camera control, light manipulation and general ease of us. Split as 'Beginner' and 'Expert' modes.    Perspective matching algorithm    Lens Flare plug-in system.    Caustics rendering (via ray tracing) Online images: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.    Full support of all of Okino's 3D import and export conversion technology, optimization systems and geometry processors.  Hierarchy & parts count optimizers (the most important and critical aspect of Okino's 'stepping stone' CAD import process)  Extensive model, mesh, hierarchy & part manipulation via global menu & per-instance 'right click' operations  The Okino 'Spreadsheet Editor' for deep and direct access to every aspect of the model's 3D scene graph + execution of all Okino geometry processing operations on selected spreadsheet entities  Triangle to quad polygon merging (enabled on each Okino CAD importer)  Polygon Reduction System  Spline shape & NURBS curve conversion engine  Mesh skinning & skeleton bi-directional conversions between 3ds max, Cinema-4D, LightWave, Maya, Collada, DirectX, FBX and U3D  Pixel-perfect camera lock-up between 3ds max, Maya and Lightwave. One of the hardest things to achieve properly. Customer approved.  Photo-realistic scanline rendering and material editors (migrated from NuGraf to PolyTrans)  JScript & VBScript scripting for import/export converters  "NuScript" language for creating 3D scenes via scripting  Plug-in modules from third party vendors and developers  Data-centric system plug-in architecture which allows any type of third party plug-in module to be created and tightly integrated into the PolyTrans or NuGraf user interface (menus, custom toolbars, MDI document windows, .NET-style docking windows, Selector Window via panels, roll-up windows, and many more integration methods.  Full featured OpenGL support, including NVIDIA & AMD pixel shaders, texture caches, transparency, gradated color backgrounds, real-time cubical & spherical mapping, bump mapping, and more.
