Moi3D CAD Importer

Houdini / Tool1.5
WHAT IT DOES

Import CAD files directly into Houdini through Moi3D.

DISCLAIMER: You need to have Moi3D installed on your PC for this to work. This currently also does not support Apple or Linux systems. This tool allows you to import many CAD files, like .step, .3dm, .iges, .igs, .sat .stp and more, directly into Houdini by taking advantage of Moi3D scripting under the hood. As far as I know this is the only way to import many of these CAD files into Houdini, without having to open up 3rd party software and in my experience Moi3d produces some of the cleanest geometry out there + it creates UV seams for you.
