Yes, this would be one of those things that is high on my list of things that need fixing. Just give the user the option to export out an .obj without bisectors if they so desire. The size of the exported obj is sometimes double or more (for the bisector data I'm guessing. But if no other "inferior" software understands it....why include it?) And yes, please, just make the naming convention be non-case sensitive. It's so embarrassing when I have to explain to folks that Softimage doesn't know how to export out the .OBJ they imported from ZB without first having to "rename" it to .obj.
This has been requested for YEARS, both on this list and through the official support channels. -w From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Szabolcs Matefy Sent: Monday, January 13, 2014 4:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: OBJ from XSI Nope, UVs are quite important. However, I think if everything is OK coming from Maya, Max, Zbrush, then Softimage is the bad guy.

Uvs generate bissectors that are not understood by inferior software :) Le 13/01/2014 08:28, Szabolcs Matefy a écrit : Hi I've got a recurring issue with OBJ. Now I wanted to bring my model into Marmoset Toolbag2, and the obj statistics Marmoset gave me was false. I had two eye object, and one of the eye had double vertex number than the other, and the normal were screwed up, no matter what setting I used. When I brought them into Maya, I have seen that the vertex normals are off. So I fixed it and exported into Marmoset, and behold and lo, it was fine. And this is not the first case we have this issue. I'm curious when the OBJ exporter will be fixed (like the appending of multiple OBJ extension, a decade old bug present in Softimage). And yes, I reported it, but nothing happened. Cheers Szabolcs ___ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
