What is an OBJ File?

OBJ (Wavefront) is a standard 3D model format that supports vertices, normals, textures, and materials. It is one of the most widely adopted formats for exchanging 3D model data between different applications.

OBJ files are commonly used for:

  • 3D modeling and design
  • Game development
  • Architectural visualization
  • Animation and visual effects

OBJ Viewer FAQ

What is an OBJ file?

OBJ (Wavefront) is a widely used 3D model format that stores geometry data including vertices, normals, texture coordinates, and material references. It is a text-based format supported by virtually all 3D software.

Does it support materials?

Yes! OBJ files can reference MTL (Material Template Library) files for material definitions. Our viewer applies default materials to ensure your model renders correctly even without an accompanying MTL file.

ASCII format only?

Yes, OBJ is a text-based (ASCII) format, which makes it human-readable and easy to inspect or edit with any text editor. This also means files can be larger than binary formats like STL or GLTF.

Does my browser need WebGL?

Yes, WebGL is required for 3D rendering. All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) support WebGL by default.
