OBJ import problem

Post by GertHe »

Hi, I (bought) and imported "Serve-over counters Sydney by Arneg 3D model" from cgtrader.com. I expected the delivery to be six different objects (six variations of the same service-counter). After importing the object to SH3D, it only appears as one object but including those six elements in one !?!? - so, unusable. Any ideas what has gone wrong here?

Hi,

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong. [:D]

One obj object = One object with sh3d.

You must import it with an another soft to dispatch the 6 objects (one per one).
To realize this, I use for example 'anim8or'.

Learning requires patience [:-/] ... I managed to split the object by importing them to Rhinocero 5, then "select object -> Export Selected..."

Strange that PH3D refused to import the .DAE and .KMZ versions I had exported from Rhino ("format not supported"), but accepted .OBJ only. And that with not very much success either - as you can see in the pic (link) Image

compare what I originally thought I will have (to the left) to the mono-color result.

Guess Rhino export and PH3D import are not understanding each other.

...next need to try anim8or
