Model Preparation - OBJ

Please make sure your model is as clean as possible with the least amount of geometry you can show to ensure best performance.

Note

You may be able to load much larger files if you split your model into more exported files - by category perhaps. Smooth and round objects will cause issues. If possible reduce triangle count as much as possible.

Creating a .WALK File

Step 1: Create a folder and export your .OBJ to this folder. Make sure all textures are in a folder.

Note

You can have multiple .OBJ and .MTL files from different modelling programs as long as they all share the same origin and scale.

Step 2: Open “LUX Home” click on the + icon

Step 3: Drag the folder containing the .OBJ to LUX Home.

Step 4: A .WALK file will be generated next to your export folder.

Enjoy your WALK
