OBJ Files

[ivorhession]

Hey all,

I am playing about with some 3d printing, and have been exporting (saving my project) as STL and OBJ files.  Its all generally working fine, however I was wondering if there is a way to export the files with their colour and texture rather than them just coming out just in white?

Thanks for the help in advance...

Colors in OBJ are typically contained in a accompanying MTL file.

STL are typically just groups of triangles. No color information would be embedded, unless people use some (non-standard) extensions:
