What is it?
 
Cleans up and exports a Modo scene as a Wavefront .OBJ file according to an original recipe by Yazan Malkosh. Version 1.04 fixes a problem with the save file dialog and adds the option to save as either Quads or Tris. Yazan's recipe:
 
  • Unhide all polygons.
  • Delete all 0, 1, 2 point polygons.
  • Merge points that are in the same point in space.
  • Unify polygons.
  • Cycle through the materials, select each different material's polygons and set part name with the same name.
  • Select all SDS polygons and freezes them with default freeze settings.
  • Optionally triple everything
Usage:
 
Run via F6, assign to a hotkey or add to a menu/popover form as desired. Choose whether to triple polygons, select an output path and filename.
