Layout OBJ Options

note

This page is a part of continuing efforts to make the LightWave documentation complete. If a link takes you back to the main page, it leads to a page that hasn't yet been created. Let us know if you find one!

The OBJ tab contains options for importing and exporting OBJ file objects.

• OBJ One Layer - imports the object as a single layer

• OBJ One VMap - imports the object with a single vertex map

• OBJ Pivot at Center - creates the pivot of the object at the center of the object

• OBJ Write Normals - writes the normals associated with the object when saved

• OBJ Merge Points - merges points sharing the same space

• OBJ Reverse Ka & Kd - Reverses Ambient Occlusion and Diffuse channels

• OBJ Double Sided - Creates double-sided geometry

• OBJ Parts - Keeps LightWave Part Polygon tags

• OBJ Foreground Layers - Only saves layers marked as foreground to OBJ

• OBJ Continuous UV - UVs have shared points rather than duplicated

• OBJ Smoothing Groups - Supports the new Smoothing Groups system

• OBJ Remove Hidden - Polygons that are hidden will not be exported (Hiding layers does not have any effect)

• OBJ Import Scale - sets the scale of an object when it is imported

• OBJ Export Scale - sets the scale of the object when it is exported

note

Modeler can create vertex normal maps by exporting an object in OBJ format with smoothing groups unchecked here.
