If you're a 3D artist or designer using Medium, you may want to import OBJ files to incorporate 3D models into your designs. While Medium is primarily known for its sculpting capabilities, it also allows users to import existing 3D models in OBJ format. Here's how to do it.
1. Prepare Your OBJ File
Before importing your OBJ file into Medium, make sure it is ready for use. Ensure that the file is correctly formatted and does not contain any errors. It's also a good idea to check the scale and orientation of the model to avoid any issues during the import process.
2. Launch Medium and Open a New Scene
Once your OBJ file is ready, open Medium on your computer and create a new scene or open an existing one where you want to import the 3D model. Click on the 'Import' button in the toolbar to start the import process.
3. Select and Import Your OBJ File
After clicking the 'Import' button, navigate to the location of your OBJ file on your computer. Select the file and click 'Open' to begin the import process. Medium will then import the OBJ model into your scene.
4. Edit and Manipulate the Imported Model
Once the OBJ model is imported into Medium, you can start editing and manipulating it to fit your design needs. Use the sculpting and painting tools in Medium to modify the imported model and integrate it into your 3D design.
5. Save and Export Your Work
After you've finished editing the imported OBJ model in Medium, make sure to save your work to preserve your changes. You can also export your design from Medium to use it in other 3D software or for 3D printing.
Importing OBJ files into Medium opens up a world of possibilities for 3D artists and designers. Whether you're looking to incorporate existing 3D models into your designs or use them as a starting point for your creations, the import feature in Medium makes it easy to bring external assets into your projects.
By following these steps, you can seamlessly import OBJ files into Medium and take your 3D design and modeling to the next level. Experiment with different OBJ models and see how they can enhance your creative projects in Medium.
