Hi All,

I have been contacted by a client who is asking if I can find a way to import a CAD file types that I've never seen before. The file types are .jt , .stp and .step files. There is a model that is in these formats and to do the project I need to find a way to get these into EIAS. Anyone know anything about these file formats?

The file that I'm told is a .jt does not used a .jt at the end of anything but rather it is folder filled with many files with all different names. I think this format saves out each part independently. Here is a example of a few of the first in a series of files.

17d20418-2m3_t3.prt.1
17d20418-2m3_t2.prt.1
17d20418-2m3_t1.prt.1
17d20420_t1.prt.1
12h7500.prt.1
0-140595-0.prt.1
_ug641fddcmub.prt.1
_83101067_s00_x00.prt.1
14_940_111_a_12_10.asm.1
17d20418-2m3_3.asm.1
10-00-4452-1285_s20_x00.prt.1
17d20418-2m3_2.asm.1
17d20418-2m3_1.asm.1
17d20418-2m3.asm.1
17_0-1_5_s20_x00.prt.1
10-40450-12s_s00_x00.prt.1

Anybody recognize this file format? Any thoughts on how to convert this to something useful would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I was wondering where Triple D Tools has gone? I was looking into updating AFractal and can't find the web site any more. If they are in fact gone I hope someone has taken over their products since they had a number of cool items.

Hi All,

I've used Contortionist a number of times over the years but I've never run into this issue before in part because I don't think I've tried to deform a textured model before.

I have created a textured model and am using contortionist to deform it along a path made with an effector. A render of the model prior to adding the plugin looks proper. However after it is deformed along the path the texture appears to be gone. I have been using a master material but then tried to apply the texture as a per model texture with no improvement. Anyone know whats going on and how to fix this?

PS... I should add that the textures are not UV but simple flat planar textures. Pretty strait forward.
