RE: best export file format including textures?

Hi Mark,

First of all you need to convert all your objects to polygonal SDS objects.
Next use the Map2Obj tool to convert the mapping objects to face maps.
RS can't make the mtl files. So the Obj files contain the UV information,
but you need to recreate the materials in another application. The only way
I could export textures was using the VRML export. After the export I
converted the file to obj with Polytrans. But these materials don't contain
reflection or other stuff. Only the texture maps.

Arjo.

 Hi all,
 
 Please refresh my memory: can RS3d export files like .obj including
 UV-mapped textures? I know .obj import is perfect, but the other way
 around..? V6.1.
 
 I'm asking this because I want to make some of my free stuff available
 to a wider audience...
 
 
 thanks,
 Mark H
