Hi

I exported one of my Anim8or modes as both an .obj file and a .3ds file.  I imported the files into a program I am playing around with (Coppercube).  Why didn't my colors and materials get imported with the model?

kreator:
.obj files should have a .mtl file which has all the objects materials assigned to it, however, nine times out of ten the resulting .mtl file does not have the information attached if you just use export as .obj with anim8or. I always use the "Wavefront Plugin" that will give you a correct mtl file. See the asl database for it, original post at http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,4463.0.html

3ds Files have the materials built into the file so should be ok unless you have textures, any not found will ask you to find it with a requester box.

I could not get it to work.  I tried loading the script and ..........nothing

kreator:
duh! you don`t need to run the script, if you have installed the plugin, when you export your .obj, look for save as "wavefront plugin"  instead of the normal export as .obj

See screenshot attached

I haven't installed the plugin because I don't know how.   :-*
