[QUOTE="vdH, post: 350464, member: 24103"] Hi guys. I’ve been using a Shining DS EX to scan and then I import the resulting .obj (with texture) into a tray design program (Shera easybase). Recently the shining scan software got updated, and the design program refused to load. The supplier on the design side said he thought the files looked corrupted even! I had a quick look and the headers of the old .obj, and the new obj. are totally different. Also, now in the export folder there is a .png with the texture data. That wasn’t the case with the old version (I’m guessing the texture data used to be embedded.) Meshmixer and exocad can open them, but I haven’t found a way to export the new files to a format that Easybase can read. It can read the .ply without texture but I need that for my workflow to work. So my question is, does anyone know if there’s been a change in the .obj file format. Should an .obj always have the texture data embedded? And of course if anyone has a solution, I would be much obliged. [/QUOTE]
