Exporting As A .OBJ Or...

Hi guys,

I'm working on a project for some friends that will be eventually animated in Blender (the crew is also using 3DStudio for other phases). My question is which format is this: I want to export the character (DAZ Troll) so it will be suitable for animating in Blender, but if I export it as an .obj the rig will not follow. Should I export as a .Collada or some other format? Thanks for any help on this.

CHEERS;-)

    Does Blender have rigging tools?

    Hi EP and thanks for the quick reply. Yes they do but if they have to re-rig the character it will surely slow down the workflow quite a lot. It would be great if the rig could be included with the character.

    Hi again, EP.
    That might work. Blender includes a Python export script for FBX. I'll have a go and let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for your input.
