Output notes
Check these points before you rely on the output.
3ds Max files usually need extra handling before OBJ export. Use this page to review the mesh handoff first.
Mesh topology and UV layout are the primary candidates for transfer.
Complex material graphs and rig data should not be assumed to carry over one-to-one.
Preservation
Check these points before relying on materials, UVs, animation, or rig data.
Materials
Basic material references may be possible, but richer shader setups usually need simplification. Expect cleanup on the final export.
UV
UV data can often be preserved when geometry export is clean and the pipeline is validated. Check it on a sample file first.
Animation
Animation is usually not a reliable expectation for OBJ-focused workflows. Treat it as scene-specific.
Rig
Rig data is generally not the goal of an OBJ output page. Treat it as scene-specific.
