Hi forum leaders,
Just wondering what the latest version of OBJ2Fact is, and where do I get an update? I have 2.1 but I saw a mention of 2.1.1 in another thread...I’m getting shading anomalies (flipped normals) on import and maybe a later version might fix them...?
Thanks
Rory

Rory,
2.1.1 is out, you just have to email the folks at Ramjac to get it.  The update address a lot of the issues you’re describing.

You have to E-Mail? Not posted on the RamJack web site as an available update?

Come on.

Rory,
I think Yon meant 2.1.4 for this is the latest version I know of. I would ask for it on the Support section of obj2fact Ramjac forum

Richard,
Looks like I have to email for another update too red face

Thanks,
Yon

**edit** my version is 2.1.4.  If I get info from the finder it says 2.1.1, but ‘about’ from the program says 2.1.4.

Thanks everybody!
I agree it would be good if they had a software update page… I can’t log on to the forum even with a reset password (!?) I emailed them and sales@eitg (where I bought it) so hopefully will get some joy… these normals are driving me mad!

A comment
While waiting for the update to Obj2Fact I fixed the normals probs in my model by applying encage - it recomputes them apparently. Nice plugin!

Rory,
2.1 still has the reverse normals option, and the recalculate normals option.  If that fails you can try reversing normals in the Object Info window.
Encage is great, and it adds a lot of polygons to do its wonders.

It’s Ramjac you have to email.  EITG sells it, and doesn’t own or maintain it.

Good luck with the conversions,
Yon

Hi,
latest O2F is 2.1.5. Not a lot happened between releases, only minor bug fixes for bad OBJ exports. In other words: if you dont have troubles, there is no compelling need to update wink
