OBJ Import ?!

| What is a good free program that will import a .obj file and then export it to .3ds and retain the texture information? thx :) |
| ||
| Blender |
| ||
| I tried Blender and it acts like it is loading my .obj's but once it is done it only shows a box. Granted, I am new to Blender...am I missing something? |
| ||
| Just in case you are aiming to get an .obj into B3D... http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1323 |
| ||
| Email me the file and I'll have a look, probably just a scaling issue. |
| ||
| Thx stayne...I got it to load in an .obj, but how do I make it create a .b3d? I do not see a function for it. |
| ||
| You don't...you're stuck with the .obj. I use ultimate unwrap for converting models to .b3d. It's not free but it's incredibly handy and stable as a rock (for me it is anyway). |
| ||
| yep, it was a scale issue...your were correct. Now I am trying to learn the texturing system in Blender...argh......wish me luck. So why does Blender drop the texture info on import of an OBJ ? |
| ||
| Try using Gile[s] I believe it will import .obj, and Freborg has offered gile[s] up for free now. |
| ||
| thx Pongo...Giles is doing what I needed. |
| ||
| you could use deled to import the obj then export as 3ds then use pacemaker to import the 3ds and export it to b3d. should work right? |
| ||
| Fragmotion too? |
| ||
| fragmotion cost money though dosent it? |
| ||
| Wow, I just had this problem the other day! I solved it with this: http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ By the way, if you happen to be making your obj with Maya, you'll need to make it white before exporting it. If you don't, and then make it into a 3ds with Mesh lab to use in Blitz, it will always be grey no matter what you do, darkening all your textures by half. Good luck! Mesh lab is a great free program for converting file types. |
