Wavefront Import Export

stitlown · 23rd January 2012, 08:03 AM

Currently using AC3D 6.4.30. It neither exports .obj files with meshes and mesh groups and materials intact nor imports a well formed .obj file with these groupings.

Loaded trial of AC3D 6.8.14 and as far as I can see the import is identically problematic. The export looks a little better but is still missing the basic mesh separations, and appends a redundant gn prefix to such groups as it does bother to export.

I can see from snippets on forums this is a problem others have. Is there a proper export and import routine available that preserves the meshes and material groups that exist in the original model? Quite surprised this is an issue for a file format that is as well established as .objs

Love to hear any suggestions. For export I'm getting best results with a poser export from both the "export selected" plugin and the poser export plugin which appear to be mostly faithful. I have found no import solution.

Cheers, Lx
