Mechanical CAD model in ZBrush

Experimenting with mechanical CAD (SolidWorks) model conversion to .obj (by way of .stl :( ) :

Check out Alibre (http://www.alibre.com/) for some high-end CAD at a low-end price ($495).

It's a tray stacker/destacker.

Scott, yes, the SolidWorks rendering package, PhotoWorks, is mediocre, and it's especially poor on shadows. We use PW to generate presentations for clients or potential clients. This was a test to see how well a certain translator program would work. It was cheap. There is a more expensive program that may work much better, since it will translate a native SW file directly into .obj.
