Maya multi-object in single .obj file

Falkrum

Hello to all!

Is there any option how to export multi-object in single OBJ file? Standard obj exporter combines meshes in one object.

What are you exporting them to do? If you reimport into Maya you can run separate to get them apart again and I assume that would work in other programs that have similar features.

OBJ only supports "groups" or vertex. Maya has that on by default. When you import OBJ with Maya, each group would be imported as separate mesh as well.

You can see examples how groups are defined with "g" in the obj file - http://www.andrewnoske.com/wiki/OBJ_file_format

Compare that to what Maya produces.

Hi Falkrum,

if you have the plugin objExport.mll loaded, if you go to the menu entry File > Export All... or File > Export Selection... and click on the options square button, in the options panel you will find a drop down menu called File Type. If you select OBJexport, at the very bottom of the panel you'll find File Type Specific Options to set. You can try changing them until you are satisfied with the result.

Cheers
