Exporting Wavefront Object (OBJ) Files

• Application Menu > Export > Save as type > gw::OBJ-Exporter (*.OBJ)

The ASCII-based OBJ format makes it possible to exchange graphical data between many applications. Both polygons and freeform geometries such as curves are supported with this format. You can export 3ds Max files to this format.

To export scene geometry to an OBJ file:

1. From the Application menu, choose Export. Or, to export only the current selection, choose Export Selected.

   The Select File To Export dialog opens.

2. Enter the file name, optionally with the .obj file name extension. If you don’t enter the extension, open the Save As Type drop-down list and choose gw::OBJ-Exporter (*.OBJ).
3. Click Save.

   The exporter dialog opens.

4. Set parameters manually, or choose the name of the target program from the Preset drop-down list. Optionally click Map-Export and set map-export parameters.
5. Click Export.

   During export, a dialog showing progress and the names of exported objects opens. When the export is finished, click DONE to return to 3ds Max.
