Hi, I have OBJ file and i try to display it in FME. When I connect Reader (I select Wavefront OBJ file as a file type) with Vizuallizer (now it have name Inspector I guess) I can see only triangles without texture. It is possible to display it?

 

 

I have FME Desktop version 2011.

Hi Magda,

 

 

The OBJ reader can read texture from the source OBJ file, but the default visualizer in FME 2011 (FME Universal Viewer) doesn't support to display texture. Try using FME Data Inspector instead. You can switch the Visualizer Application with Workbench menu:

 

Tools > FME Options | Workbench page

 

Just be aware Data Inspector in FME 2011 was in Beta stage. Many enhancements and improvements have been done during these few years. I would recommend you to upgrade FME version, if possible.

And I do agree that FME 2015 has dramatically better 3D support in every way and so I'd strongly advise@muchaneta to upgrade if at all possible.
