Alias Model to Maya - Tessellation Issue or Maybe something else

[aayush.mech6252]

I made a class A model in Alias and now I am importing it into Maya. I saved the model as a wire file from alias and then I am importing the same wire file into Maya through studioimport plug in. I have my layers and everything. But when you the image I have shared, The model is not accurate. It should be aligned and proportionate with its green edges i.e. the way I created it in Alias (smooth and exact).

I tried converting, remeshing etc. but does not work. I am not even sure what this issue is and how to fix it.

What going wrong? What should I do make it look the same way it did in Alias?

It looks like NURBS tesslation issue. Is this a poly object or NURBS object? It looks like it ignored the smoothing of the curve/line made a linier surface. I need some more info, If you right click on it what you see VERTEX or CONTROL vertex? I have no exp in Alias but I know that they are NURBS based.

Did you figured out how to fix it?

Actually I understood the process. But the fact is that an A class alias model needs to be converted to Maya polygons for further detailing and texturing. And that destroys the true class A quality of the Alias model. So for vfx and games point, I think it is wiser to try modelling at the best quality in maya itself instead of relating nurbs and polygon models. In my attempt to convert the alias model into polygons, all I found was degradation in the quality of the surface with so many spans and poly faces in maya. So in a nutshell, its better for me not to merge class A (Nurbs) with Polygons. Thats how i fixed my approach in this situation. Let them be champions in their own ways..
