OBJ export from RW3D

[dsweetkind]

Hass anyone tried to use a Wavefront OBJ export from RW3D in something OTHER than SketchFab? The RW export files come in just fine into SketchFab but create errors when using on-line "plain vanilla" OBJ viewers or when trying to input into an OBJ to GLTF converter. Is there something about the OBJ file that RW3D exports that is written specifically for  SketchFab import? I am on the ragged edge of my knowledge here about meshes and 3D file export but am hoping to export to viewer other than SketchFab. Ultimately would love a clean GLTF format file compatible with open-source GLTF viewers.

Don,

 

The OBJ export was really developed with Sketchfab in mind, but I would expect that it would work in some other viewers as well.  I tested this with some 3D PDF at one point and found that they really only worked with much smaller files.  Sketchfab seems to be able to handle pretty large and complex files that the other programs could not handle.

 

We are open to suggestions for new export formats, so please feel free to reach out to us with suggestions or to point us in the direction of a specific viewer you would like to work with.

 

Best Regards,

Alison
