Geometry Export¶

This section demonstrates the use of the S3Dlib function save_surfgeom_to_obj which saves a surface object to an obj format file. The method is limited to exports of only the object’s geometry information. As a result, the example scripts do not include any color information of the surface. This also excludes shading and highlighting which, in general, would not be included in the object coloration since these depend on the Matplotlib Axes3D rendering.

Included with each script example is a screen copy of the exported object rendered in the Blender graphic software tool. Any uniform coloration of the surface shown in these images has been applied using the Blender software. Since rendering is to be done by Blender, these scripts do not import Matplotlib modules or methods.
