What to know about GLTF → OBJ

  • OBJ is a text format; its materials and textures live in a separate .mtl file and image files.
  • A glTF opens as a group in MeshInspector: select the mesh inside it, and Export saves that one object as .obj.
  • glTF carries scenes, materials and textures for web viewers and game engines.
  • OBJ stores no units, like STL.
