Jun 6, 2020 at 12:58 comment added p2or .obj is a pretty old file format and doesn't allow to preserve any modifiers. Even when using alembic or usd, there is no way to preserve that (in 2020). If there is a serious reason to do that, I'd suggest to save all the modifier properties in a json string as text file and check for that file when loading the data back in. Cheers @ComputerScientist
Jun 5, 2020 at 14:17 comment added ComputerScientist Hi @p2or, thanks for the great answer. Do you know if there is a way to save modifiers along with the .obj, so that importing them later will preserve them? (I have a relevant question here: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/181143/…)
Jan 21, 2020 at 5:28 comment added GammaGames I figured it out, I added a use_mesh_as_center option that sets the mesh's location to (0, 0, 0) before exporting and resets it back to its original after
Jan 21, 2020 at 4:15 comment added GammaGames Is there a way to export the object with the center of object for the mesh instead of the global origin?
