Are you working on a project that requires you to export your Illustrator file as an OBJ format? Whether it's for 3D modeling or game development, saving your Illustrator artwork as an OBJ file can be a useful process. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to save your Illustrator file as OBJ.

Step 1: Open your Illustrator file and make sure your artwork is ready for export. Ensure that your graphics are properly arranged and grouped if necessary.

Step 2: Once you have finalized your artwork, go to 'File' and select 'Save As'. In the 'Save As' dialog box, choose a location to save your file and select 'Wavefront OBJ (*.obj)' from the 'Save as type' dropdown menu.

Step 3: After selecting the OBJ format, click 'Save' to bring up the OBJ export options dialog box. Here you can specify the settings for your OBJ export, such as scale, units, and options for exporting groups and layers.

Step 4: Make sure to adjust the settings according to your project requirements. For example, if you are exporting your artwork for 3D printing, you may need to set the scale and units accordingly. If your artwork contains multiple layers or groups, you can choose to export them as separate OBJ files.

Step 5: Once you have configured the export settings, click 'OK' to start the OBJ export process. Illustrator will then save your file as an OBJ format, along with an accompanying material file (MTL) if applicable.

Step 6: After the export is complete, you can navigate to the location where you saved your OBJ file to confirm its presence. You can now use this OBJ file in 3D software or game engines to incorporate your Illustrator artwork into your projects.

By following these steps, you can easily save your Illustrator file as an OBJ format, enabling you to leverage your vector graphics in 3D environments. Whether you are creating assets for a 3D game or preparing your artwork for 3D printing, exporting your Illustrator file as OBJ opens up a world of possibilities for your designs.
