Are you a 3D artist or designer using Modo for your 3D modeling and design work? If so, you may need to export your finished 3D models to share with others or use in different software applications. One popular file format for 3D models is the OBJ format, which is widely supported across different 3D software. Here's a simple guide on how to export OBJ from Modo.
Step 1: Open your 3D model in Modo
First, open your 3D model within Modo's interface. You can navigate to the 'File' menu and select 'Open' to browse for your model file and load it into Modo.
Step 2: Prepare your model for export
Before exporting your model, make sure it is properly organized and optimized. This may include merging layers, adjusting materials and textures, and ensuring that the model is correctly scaled and oriented.
Step 3: Select the model to export
Click on the model in the viewport to select it. You can also select multiple models if you want to export them together as a single OBJ file.
Step 4: Navigate to the export options
Once your model is selected, navigate to the 'File' menu and choose 'Export Mesh As'. This will open the export options dialog where you can specify the file format and other export settings.
Step 5: Choose OBJ as the export format
In the export options dialog, select 'Wavefront OBJ' from the list of available file formats. You may also need to specify the export path and filename for your OBJ file.
Step 6: Configure the export settings
Depending on your specific requirements, you can adjust the export settings for the OBJ file. This may include options for including materials, textures, normals, and other attributes in the export.
Step 7: Export your model as OBJ
After configuring the export settings, click 'OK' or 'Export' to save your 3D model as an OBJ file. Modo will process the export and save the OBJ file to the specified location.
Step 8: Verify the exported OBJ file
Once the export process is complete, navigate to the export location to verify that your OBJ file has been successfully created. You can then use this file in other 3D software or share it with others as needed.
That's it! You've successfully exported your 3D model as an OBJ file from Modo. With these simple steps, you can easily share your 3D creations with others or use them in different 3D software applications. Happy modeling!
