The strong trend toward workflow improvements, universal formats and standards is being approached from many directions, such as Turbosquid’s native StemCell converter. This Copy & Paste plug-in by Oliver Hotz adds another helpful tool with which you can exchange geometry quickly and easily between various 3D software.

Supported Software and Development

The currently supported software applications include Modo, Lightwave, Blender, Maya, Houdini, Rhino, Sketchup , 3DsMax and XSI. Most applications support vertices, polygons, weight maps, UV maps and morph maps. You can find a detailed overview here. Cinema 4D is currently not yet on the list, but is on the developer’s TO-DO list. Oliver Hotz also invites people to participate in this open-source project!
