obj models, you’ll have to manually replace the low res. To solve this, you can export as CINEMA 4D with ‘Materials and Texture Tags” checked to obtain a tex folder containing your full resolution texture image files. obj exports is that Vectorworks exports any image texture files super low resolution.

obj the materials do not import embedded, so we need to manually link them in the Inspector using External Materials (Legacy):Īnother SNAFU with. obj does not seem to cause any issues with normals, so YAY! Luckily, exporting from Vectorworks as an. Here you can apply Display Tags to disable Backface Culling and manually reverse/align normals as needed to get your model ready to import into Unity (go to main nav > Mesh> Normals). fbx, consider stopping over into Cinema 4D on the way. fbx model in Vectorworks and have had issues with misaligned normals in Unity. Unfortunately, there have been several occasions when I’ve exported an. Zooming out to view the ceiling from above however will likely reveal that your material is in fact rendering, but only when viewed from one side. If the normals are not in the correct alignment, your ceiling will appear to be transparent. Let’s say you export a ceiling object (an extruded rectangle) for import into Unity. In the context of this experiment, think of normals as the plane(s) of an object that get rendered in Unity.

If you want to be able to control aspects of the model separately in Unity, be sure to export them as separate. It simply requires a little thought before exporting. obj you can’t turn individual parts of the mesh on and off in Unity.

obj export treats several Vectorworks objects as one combined mesh. fbx into Unity it preserves each individual object as it was in Vectorworks, so a group of objects will preserve their individual child objects. And a model this large can cause issues in Unity with lighting, cameras, canvas etc. obj models in general (regardless of scale) import into Unity 100x times larger than an. obj model is at export, it will be the same size once in Unity. fbx will both be the same size when imported into Unity. So for example, a 1:1 model and a 1:1200 model exported as. The scale of your model in Vectorworks doesn’t matter! It will import into Unity at the same size. It’s an extra step, but certainly not a dealbreaker. obj models import on their side, requiring you to rotate -90 on the X axis. fbx file imports into Unity without needing to be rotated.
