Hi everyone,
When I export a 3D model from maya to Preform 1.9.0. The model doesn´t have smooth.
I export the file in .OBJ
Can someone help me?
Thanks!
No 3d printing software (that I know of) will smooth the surfaces as toolpath generation is very dependant on polygons. If you want a smoother surface you should increase mesh density.

Just to add to Tikey’s comment, your sphere looks smooth in maya because the software blends polygons together to create a nice smooth surface - if you set your display in maya to faceted you will get a truer representation of how your printed file will look. But definitely up the mesh density. ZBrush is great for creating objects for smooth prints with minimal polygons - using the decimation tool.
