OBJ and 3Ds format

Post by Jane Ndungu »

Hello Vectric,
Kindly looking for help on how to use OBJ and 3Ds files with Aspire. I got an image from CGtrader and the format they sent me am not conversant with it.
Kindly seeking for some lessons since i have no idea at all on how this works.

Thank you Vectric family.

Kind regards
Jane

What 3D file formats can I import?

File > Import > Import Component / 3D Model
OR
Use the "Import a component or 3D model" icon on the Modeling Tab.

Hi Randall,
Thanks for the quick response. I have done the Import but the way the files open it different from V3m or Crv files. this is what am not aware of.
I hope the above file opens.

Thanks
Jane

Look at the "Two Sided Leaf Bowl" video. The details of the import screen for other model types are covered from minute 2 through minute 5 of the video.
