If you're a game developer working with Unity, you may encounter the need to export selected GameObjects to OBJ format for various purposes such as sharing models with others or using them in other applications. While Unity doesn't have a built-in feature for this, there are third-party tools and scripts that can help you achieve this easily. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to convert selected GameObjects to OBJ in Unity.
Step 1: Install the OBJ Exporter Plugin
To enable OBJ export functionality in Unity, you can use plugins like 'OBJ Exporter' available on the Unity Asset Store. Simply download and import the plugin into your Unity project to get started.
Step 2: Select GameObjects
Once the plugin is installed, select the GameObjects in your scene that you want to export to OBJ format. This could be any 3D model, terrain, or other objects in your scene.
Step 3: Export to OBJ
With the GameObjects selected, navigate to the plugin's menu or interface within Unity. Look for the export options and choose OBJ as the desired format. You may have the option to customize export settings such as scale and triangulation before finalizing the export.
Step 4: Save the OBJ File
After setting the export options, choose a destination folder and file name for the OBJ file. Click the export button to generate the OBJ file based on the selected GameObjects.
Step 5: Review and Use the OBJ File
Once the export process is complete, locate the exported OBJ file in the specified folder. You can then review the file using a 3D modeling application to ensure that the conversion was successful. Additionally, you can import the OBJ file into other 3D software or share it with others as needed.
By following these steps, you can easily convert selected GameObjects to OBJ format in Unity using a plugin or script. This process allows you to seamlessly export 3D models and other assets from your Unity projects for various purposes. Whether you're collaborating with other developers, creating portfolio content, or using the models in different applications, the ability to convert GameObjects to OBJ expands the flexibility of your Unity workflow.
