Quote - What you need is my (free) extended Wavefront .obj Import/Export plugin -Riptide. With Riptide in place, I can create and export fully grouped, material-zoned, uv-mapped .obj files, ready for use in Poser with zero additional other steps/applications involved (unless I need to write out some texture-templates, which I usually use UVMapper for). All material-zones, groups, uvs and even UVMapper 'regions' are preserved on import as well.
That's what I've been using for the attempt to export, but there must be something wrong in what I'm doing, because after setting the selection and Riptide tags and adding the selections to the groups and exporting, the resulting OBJ doesn't have any groups saved, and when I check in the Riptide tag, the groups are gone completely and the selections are not even recognised.
I have registered in the forums, and will go bug you in a few days, but at the moment I've got an avalanche of work to juggle before my holidays (start on the 15, yay!), and I'm still waiting for a new machine where I will need to move/install everything, so I've left OBJ exporting in the back burner.
And UVMapping will be left until AFTER I can group objects. Hopefully by then Maxon will have sent the documentation DVD for 10 and I won't be that much in the dark. I've also eyeballed your plug-in for UVmapping, but I want to have a better idea of what I'm doing both with modelling -getting there, a bit- and standard uvmapping -not a hope yet- before I add an extra layer of complexity.
