Import mesh with submeshes from OBJ?

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to export an OBJ file from 3ds max with 3 submeshes.
I have:

  • assigned them all different material
    ID’s
  • given a multi-sub material to the
    object
  • named all the submaterials
  • checked the “export materials”
    checkbox in the export dialog

However, when I attach a script that shows me how many submeshes are in the object, it still says 1

code:

void Start () {
Debug.Log(mesh.subMeshCount);
}

result:

1

What am I doing wrong here?

Despite this question is a bit older…
But I don’t think obj supports submeshes. Use .fbx instead.

Obj supports submeshes if you include the associated .mtl file

If you don’t include this file then it will merge the meshes into one.
