Hi

Are there any plans for supporting other file formats than obj?

Thanks

(The following is FrankPoole's opinion)

OBJ is pretty much a perfect format. It has everything you need.

And it is readable/editable by humans in a text editor... What more could you want?

There is a reason why everyone from Autodesk - ZBrush (A to Z) supports it... It rocks.

@FrankPool
You are probably right, but I can't export obj from Revit, thats the problem

Aren't you going from Revit > 3DSMax?.. that can export obj, can't it?

Blender is a nice middle-man, in a pinch... imports and exports most everything...
and it is free.. but for me, this is about all it is useful for. I use it to convert to three.js
for WebGL -- otherwise, I hate the friggin' thing.

AccuTrans does a pretty decent job of converting stuff to obj too...

Obj doesn't support multiple uv's. Something that could be usefull

True. You got me there. It doesn't come up that often, the way I work.. but you have a point.

Okay, OBJ is not a perfect format.. but sorta close to one.
