Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Export geometry to an external file format.
3D Exporter
Method #
The Geometry Exporter node allows sequences, or single frames, of geometry to be exported as OBJs or Alembic (Ogawa) files. The source object should be attached to the Geometry input of the Geometry Exporter node. All types of geometry sources can be exported.
To export multiple pieces of geometry in a single OBJ or Alembic (ABC) file, combine them into one using a Combine Geometry node and then link that to the Geometry Exporter.
