last time i remember using .obj for export, the texture coordinates were messed
up in the target application. whether that was the fault of XSI or the target
app, i don't remember... but aside of that, the OBJs seemed to read quite fine,
including texture info. however, just one UV set for each piece of geometry.
no fancy cluster or multiple UV stuff possible, if i remember correctly.
