Importing and Exporting Wavefront OBJ Files
You can import and export a file saved in OBJ format (the Wavefront Object file format). In addition, the Wavefront OBJ importer has dedicated options for importing complex ZBrush® geometry and displacement maps for rendering in XSI.
To import an OBJ file into XSI
1. Choose File > Import > Obj File from the main menu bar.
2. Set the options in the Wavefront Import Dialog Box.
3. Enter a path and file name for the OBJ file you want to import. Its name appears in the Filename text box.
You can click the Browse (…) button to select a specific location and filename from a browser.
4. When you have finished, click OK.
The imported objects are added under the current scene root.
You can export a single object, multiple-selected objects, or all objects in a scene to the Wavefront Object (*.obj) format. Exported files are saved with an .obj file extension.
To export scene objects to the Wavefront Object format
1. Select the object or objects to be exported. If no objects are selected, the entire scene is exported.
2. Choose File > Export > Obj File from the main menu bar.
3. Set the File Output and Geometry Options in the Wavefront Export Dialog Box.
4. When you have finished, click OK.
