Hello,
I'm producing a promotional video for a client who uses SolidWorks.
We would like our client to export their 3D models from SolidWorks to a 3D program we use for video called Blender.
Wondering if anyone has ever had to do this before and if they could offer any advice. We have tried exporting a number of formats but none have worked thus far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom

Thanks so much for the quick reply.
We'll give this a try.
Thanks.
Tom.
Solidworks saves VRML at a resolution that relates to image quality. I get best results at lower resolution and with optimize edge length set. This eliminates slivers. This will import into Blender. I have a mannequin model in Solidworks that I would love to rig the parts in Blender. Blender is so different from Solidworks that it makes my brain hurt.
At first glance, may look like
Because the power of blender is in Hot Key.
You make download this from here

The best format to export from solidworks to blender is vrml.
