Hi Pierre, Great videos man, can anyone please answer, if the blender settings are configured for accuracy, why can't a model (like the koenigsegg be used to a mock up or a prototype. What does alias have that would allow it to excel over blender. I ask because I have a school project and I'm thinking of learning alias just for this project, or can I just make due with using blender to create a prototype ??
Hello there, happy new year and sorry about the late reply. Blender is a great software but even with tight settings it is not made to create sheet metal panels for cars (along with draft angles, minimum radii and so on). It is something Alias is specifically meant to do.
Hi Pierre, that´s amazing worflow,! I got a question, when you export Blender to Alias the subD can recognize the edges creases that was in blender? in my tests only work Alias to Blender. Thank you
it's the same thing with the exception that in CAD software like CATIA, Alias and Rhino, the Sub-D is converted to nurbs in realtime while modeling, while in polygon software such as Blender, Maya, 3DSmax etc. the Sub-D stays as triangulated mesh. So the key difference is the output being nurbs, this comes with additonal advantages such as the capability to use CAD features on the nurbs result (trim, fillet etc.).

3:33 B > A (FBX)
4:35 B > A (OBJ)
Thank you

Hello there, happy new year and sorry about the late reply. I ran a test on my side and I was able to keep the creases from Blender.
Yo! Buddy. Great vid!
Thanks Kev, good to see ya!
Thank you for your Video, I have a question. How about FBX Nurbs data to Blender case? is that work? Thank you.
You can export an fbx file from Alias into Blender - subdiv data only
You can import NURBs into blender but it will just be a mesh. Only useful for visualisation and underlay.
What's the difference between alias subd vs blender subd? Beginner to 3d
