Does OBJ store vertex color?

Does OBJ store vertex color?

Vertex colors are not part of the original OBJ file format specification. Although some applications can read/write vertex colors in OBJ files, this is not standardized. Currently, our OBJ file import plugin does not fully support vertex colors. The recommended alternative is to use FBX as a workaround.

How do you copy a vertex color?

1 Answer. Vertex colors are object data, so can be copied/linked with Ctrl L >Object Data. This will copy/link all the object data (including mesh data) of the active object to the selected object(s). Doing this after duplicating with Shift D is the same as duplicating with Alt D .

How to import per vertex color in Blender?

I would suggest to load the .obj into a software that implements the feature of storing vertex color after the vertex coordinates, for example MeshLab and then export it to a file format that actually supports vertex color, e.g. .ply. You can then import that file into Blender with vertex colors.

Can You import ply from MeshLab into Blender?

But to get PLY with Vertex Color data into Blender seems to be impossible :spin: Maya and Houdini don’t have proper PLY exporter either. Since we have no way to import FBX (I tried FBX to DAE and still get no vertex color), I am wondering what is the alternative way to import vertex point color data? Thanks.
