If you've been working on creating custom player models or props in Garry's Mod using PAC3, you might be wondering how to convert your creations into OBJ files for use in other 3D modeling software. This article will guide you through the process of converting a PAC3 into an OBJ.
Before we get started, make sure you have the necessary software installed on your computer. You will need a program that can export PAC3 models, such as PAC3 Editor, as well as a 3D modeling software that can import OBJ files, such as Blender or Maya.
Step 1: Export the PAC3 Model
Open your PAC3 Editor and load the model you want to convert into an OBJ file. Once the model is loaded, look for an export option within the program. Depending on the version of the PAC3 Editor you are using, this option may be located in different menus, so consult the program's documentation if you're having trouble finding it. Once you locate the export option, choose OBJ as the export format and save the file to your computer.
Step 2: Import the OBJ File into 3D Modeling Software
Open your 3D modeling software and import the OBJ file that you exported from the PAC3 Editor. Depending on the software you are using, the import process may vary slightly, but in general, you will need to locate the OBJ file on your computer and open it within the software.
Step 3: Adjust and Edit the Model
Once the OBJ file has been imported into your 3D modeling software, you can begin adjusting and editing the model as needed. This may include repositioning elements, adding textures, or making any other modifications to the model.
Step 4: Save the Model in OBJ Format
After you have made all the necessary adjustments to the model, it's time to save it in the OBJ format. Most 3D modeling software will have an export option that allows you to save the model in various formats, including OBJ. Choose OBJ as the export format and save the file to your computer.
And that's it! You've successfully converted your PAC3 model into an OBJ file that can be used in other 3D modeling software. With this new capability, you can now take your creations from Garry's Mod and use them in a wider range of 3D projects. Happy modeling!
