Exporting Wavefront Object (OBJ) Files

File menu > Export > Wavefront Object (*.OBJ)

The ASCII-based OBJ format makes it possible to exchange graphical data

between many applications. Both polygons and freeform geometries such as

curves are supported with these format. You can export 3ds Max files to this

format.

Feature Support with OBJ Export

Mesh Geometry

■ When exporting mesh geometry, you can export triangles, polygons, or

quadrilaterals.

■ Normals are exported by default.

Groups

■ If you choose to group by object, then the exported information will be

organized by object. This information will be available when you import

the file so that you can choose certain objects to import rather than the

entire file.

■ If you select to group by material, then the exported information will be

organized by materials. When importing, you can select to only important

elements that are associated with a particular material.
