Funny thing to read this now. I've just spent the last week or so trying to overcome a tougher than normal vertex reordering issue in my C4D. The great import/export plugins have always done the trick but this time I finally found the one that even those greats couldn't import/export with the group data intact enough for my MTs. The bugger(the .obj) even thwarted the importation of the UV data from it's original by UVMapper . A real stinker of a .obj this one this time. If the developers just supported .obj fully life would be so much better.

Maybe large numbers of us should all pile into Sigraph to, explain, illustrate, bribe, grovel, beg, and show all the 3D software developers just how important full support for the .obj file still really is. LOL!

My brain is just a toy box filled with weird things
