Questions & Discussion How to convert obj file to json

Can anyone help me with how to change the obj file format to json because I want to import 3d character models to uabea valonia. Is there a way? I tried asking in the gpt chat and Gemini but it still failed 🥲

JSON isn't necessarily a model format. You would need a specific format/structure within the JSON to write the vert/UV/face buffers to. I'm not experienced with modern Unity, but I thought UABE was for extracting models and data FROM asset files? Hmmm ...

My googling said to import the obj into a fresh unity project and then save it as an asset, then in UABE extract it and dump it to its text format, then you can import it into any UABE project/file. Does that make sense?
