Objects

The Export->Objects commands in the Tools module let you convert an object created in SOFTIMAGE 3D into another format. The submenu displays the Vertigo, Wavefront, and Saturn formats from which you can choose.

Procedure

1. Select one or more objects that you want to export.
   
   Note:
   
   If you export a NURBS object to Vertigo or Wavefront, it is converted into a polygon mesh object.
   
   
2. Choose the Export->Objects command and one of its subcommands.

• If you choose the Vertigo command, the database browser appears. Select the object file name to export or specify a name in the File name text box and click Ok.
• If you choose the Wavefront command, a dialogue box appears in which you can convert patch objects to polygon mesh and/or splines (curves) to lines in Wavefront.
  
  When you click Ok, the database browser appears in which you can select the object file name to export or specify a name in the File name text box and click Ok.
