You might want to consider adding Rhino to the arsenal. Industrial design
people I've heard from have it around just as a step between their other
apps since it writes very clean files with lots of export options. Might be
worth a shot. The industrial folks I talked to rely more on IGES though so I
don't know if what they say about Rhino refers to its obj abilities too.
There is a demo so giving it a try is free.
All the best,
Fabian

Subject: Re: 5.1 Download now
They have various meshes with various problems from me over the past few
month without any resolution other then I should use 4.2 and convert to one
of the other formats and somehow get it into 5.x.
Unfortunately the export and re-import between 4. and 5.x is not without
it's own limitations. It's embarrassing and I lost a few jobs because I
could not import and render a few scenes I should make for a sign maker. A
quick workflow consisting out of the procurement of some Daz or Renderosity
or Turbosquid models and setting up a quick scene for a signmaker around the
corner has lead consecutively to time disasters as XSI made it necessary to
re texture the entire models because of the abysmal import capabilities. And
pressing the max import button with the window popping up which tells me
that I have to procure max 8 to be able to read scenes/models just made my
jaw drop down to the floor. Probably the next .obj import button fix is to
install a C4D license with it's flawless .obj import/export... I am not
happy and discovering the differences between announcements, deliverable and
my own expectations does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling right now
either...
Good day for gardening...
