If you're working on a project in Unity and need to use your 3D models in other software, exporting them to OBJ and MTL formats is essential. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process.

Step 1: Prepare Your 3D Model

Before exporting your 3D model from Unity, make sure it's properly prepared. This includes ensuring that the model is properly textured and has materials assigned to it. It's also a good idea to delete any unnecessary or hidden objects from the scene to keep the export clean.

Step 2: Install the OBJ Exporter Package

To export your 3D model to OBJ format, you'll need to install the OBJ Exporter package in Unity. You can easily find this package in the Unity Asset Store and install it into your project.

Step 3: Set Up the Export Settings

After installing the OBJ Exporter package, you can access the export settings by navigating to the Exporter tab in the Unity editor. Here, you can set the export path and adjust other settings such as scale and coordinate system.

Step 4: Export to OBJ

With the export settings configured, you're ready to export your 3D model to OBJ format. Simply click the 'Export' button, and Unity will generate the OBJ file along with an MTL file that contains material information.

Step 5: Verify the Export

Once the export process is complete, it's important to verify the OBJ and MTL files to ensure everything exported correctly. Open the files in a 3D modeling software such as Blender or Maya to confirm that the textures and materials are intact.

By following these steps, you can easily export your 3D models from Unity to OBJ and MTL formats, allowing you to seamlessly integrate them into other 3D modeling pipelines. Whether you're collaborating with other artists or transitioning your project to a different software, having the ability to export your Unity objects in these formats is incredibly valuable.
