What to expect when exporting an OBJ file?

What to expect when exporting an OBJ file?

Here’s an overview of what you can expect from your exported OBJ files: No spaces are allowed in file names. OBJ files don’t support spaces in their file names. When you export an OBJ file, SketchUp replaces any space with an underscore (_). Each SketchUp face exports as one polygon (unless you tell SketchUp otherwise).

Where are materials stored in an OBJ file?

.OBJ (Wavefront) file itself only stores geometry data, it does not keep anything regarding materials or textures. Materials (including references [paths] to textures) are stored in companion .MTL file/format.

How do I export an OBJ file from SketchUp?

Exporting an OBJ file. To export an OBJ file from SketchUp Pro, follow these steps: Select File > Export > 3D Model. The Export Model dialog box appears. Navigate to the location where you want to save your OBJ file.

Can you embed textures in an OBJ file?

But it does not embed textures themselves either. So you have to give .obj, .mtl and all your texture files (you can use ‘Copy’ option of the exporter to copy all needed textures in a subdir next to exported .obj). But there is yet another issue with OBJ – filenames must absolutely not contain any space.

Can A OBJ file contain faces shared by multiple groups?

“Your OBJ file contains faces shared by multiple groups. Maya cannot create multiple objects for this file. A single mesh object will be created instead. The OBJ group information will be captured in Maya sets.” Also when I look at my outliner it shows the following: I’m not sure why it is doing this.

What kind of software does OBJ file support?

Wavefront Technologies developed the OBJ file format for its Advanced Visualizer software, and over time, other 3D software developers have adopted the open OBJ format. OBJ files are text-based and support free-form and polygonal geometry.

How to save a model as an OBJ file?

Please list them in very high detail. Provide simple example places that exhibit the bug and provide description of what you believe should be the behavior. Everytime. Load up a model in studio. This is the model I used. Right click it in explorer and save it as OBJ. It will not create an obj file, or a file at all.

Why is my mesh not exporting as an OBJ?

When I insert your Mesh this happens: The mesh you were importing was transparent, it was likely exporting properly but you just couldn’t see it. I set the transparency of this model to 0 before I exported it as an OBJ and I seem to be getting intended results:
