Hi I am using Shapr on the new iPad Pro 2018 with a student license. I am exporting my model as an obj file. However when I open it on my desktop with unity , maya or photoshop the colors are not seen. What could be the solution to this ? Any help would be appreciated.

OBJ format does not officially support colors. STEP should do the trick 🙂

Thanks a lot. Will try if that format works in unity 😀
