Resulting OBJ files are not compatible with Blender and Cinema 4d #6

The resulting OBJ files can be opened in meshlab, but not in Blender and Cinema 4d. A quick pointer onto how to fix this would be awesome.

Thanks.

Hi, I havent tested these in Blender. In C4D if you open any .obj it will be imported without textures. You need to use a plugin called Riptide that will import textured .obj files. I did this app to be able to use the textured models from the kinect in C4D and the workflow I just mentioned worked OK for me. Best regards.

Thanks, Roy:

Riptide Pro allowed me to load the obj files into Cinema 4d, although without textures. Any tips how to load the texture with obj?

Best regards,

Hi, within the options that riptide pro gives you must select to load the textures and select the folder where this are stored. I don't have my computer at hand right now to take a screenshot. Just go through the options loking for the right one which should be intiutive and easy. Just write me back if you find your self in trouble.

Cheeers!

In Riptide importer I went through the options and set the following:

Materials->Options->Only Create Missing materials Materials->Channels->All selected Materials->Textures->Load Textures Materials->Textures->Suggested Path-> .../exported Materials->Special->Unselect Reduce Materials

Mesh splitting->DOn't split

Layers->everything selected

Document->create new document

Other menu selection does not seem to be important for the texturing -> I left them as they were.

--Thanks!
