Why does Clayoo 2.5 screw up the model after conversion?

Clayoo is focusing on rather low-end capabilities and jewelry designers. The conversion to NURBS surfaces is quite poor and the patch layout is not what a good NURBS modeler would model in NURBS software. See also John Brock’s comment from over a year ago.

As with everything, it very much depends what types of products you need to model and to what time/budget constraints.
