1- Will the .obj files be included with colors and textures? Right now they are only monocolor when importing in external software. Even when including vertex colors is checked. 2. Will .fbx export included? I am asking this because I use twinmotion as rendering software and texturing is very comp…

Hello Laci, I still can’t export an obj file with visible colors. Will there be an .fbx export coming?

We don’t have plans to add .fbx support at this point.

This is a shame because we have just started using Shapr3D for asset creation for games. Pretty much everything is in FBX.

Do you still need it, with UE now supporting CAD import? We have x_t as it’s the native format of Parasolid, and STEP should work too.

I think Unity might also support CAD import with a plug-in, but I’m not totally sure as I’ve just started studying Unity as it seems easier to learn than Unreal.

I think there is a disconnect on how game assets are created and used. Asset is designed in modeling software (Shapr3D, Maya, etc) 1a. Rotate -90 on X axis if Shapr3D using Maya (or Blender — I’ve used both) 1b. We may do a cleanup step on models that don’t use quads using Maya 1c. Group meshes…

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

@CannaSoftware That’s a great post and explains things very well. :+1:

For visualization try twinmotion. Its very easy and works on the Unreal Engine, meaning you can render very fast. Pathtracer only works on Windows though.

Indeed, recreating the hierarchy takes a lot of time. I export folders from shapr and import them separately to get some sort of hierarchy back in my twinmotion file . Then when I change something in Shapr I export the folder again and import and delete the old folder . It isn’t fun.

We have GLB export since 5.650 (with texture embedded in the .glb file): 5.650 - Manage references in History
