I'm a Pro user who would really like to use POVRay to render my part and
assembly files. Does anybody know of a conversion tool out there that
can convert a Pro-E part and/or assembly file to a format that is
readable in POVRay?

Thanks,

 What are the export capabilities of Pro-E ?
i.e exports to dxf, 3ds, wmf meta files, or ...

I am not 100% sure but when I worked with ProE I think I used the dxf
export feature. This Should solve your problem. There is a incredible
program called crossroads at

written by Keith Rule that can convert a whole bunch of formats.
I hope this will help you!



Happy Raytracing!
