How to Export Maya as OBJ

Oct 01, 2024

Are you a 3D artist using Autodesk Maya for your 3D modeling? If so, you may encounter the need to export your models in a file format that can be easily used in other programs and applications. One such popular file format for 3D models is the OBJ (or .obj) format. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to export your 3D models from Maya as OBJ files.

Step 1: Prepare Your Model

Before you can export your model as an OBJ file, you'll need to make sure it's properly prepared. This includes cleaning up the model, removing any unnecessary elements, and ensuring that the model is properly UV-mapped. Additionally, you may want to consider applying any necessary materials and textures to the model before exporting.

Step 2: Select the Model

In Maya, ensure that the model you want to export is selected. You can do this by clicking on the model in the viewport or selecting it from the outliner. It's important to make sure that only the model you want to export is selected, as exporting multiple objects at once may cause issues with the OBJ file.

Step 3: Navigate to the Export Menu

Once your model is selected, navigate to the 'File' menu at the top of the Maya interface. From there, select 'Export Selection' or 'Export All' depending on your preferences. This will open the export options window.

Step 4: Choose OBJ as the File Type

In the export options window, you'll have the ability to choose the file type for your export. Select 'OBJexport' from the file type drop-down menu. This will ensure that your model is exported as an OBJ file.

Step 5: Adjust Export Settings

Before exporting, you may want to adjust the export settings for the OBJ file. This can include options for vertex normals, texture coordinates, and material settings. Make sure to review and adjust these settings based on your specific needs.

Step 6: Export the Model

Once you've configured the export settings, simply click the 'Export' button to export your model as an OBJ file. Choose a location on your computer to save the file, and then click 'Save' to complete the export process.

Congratulations! You've successfully exported your 3D model from Maya as an OBJ file. You can now use this file in other 3D software, game engines, or 3D printing applications. We hope this article has been helpful in guiding you through the process of exporting your models from Maya as OBJ files.
