# OBJExporter Guide
## Basic Structure
OBJ is a text-based 3D geometry format:
```
# Comment
v x y z # Vertex position
vn x y z # Vertex normal
f v1 v2 v3 # Face (triangle)
f v1/vt1/vn1 v2/vt2/vn2 v3/vt3/vn3 # Face with texture/normal indices
```
Example:
```
# Cube
v 0 0 0
v 1 0 0
v 1 1 0
v 0 1 0
f 1 2 3
f 1 3 4
```
## Three.js OBJExporter
Three.js provides `OBJExporter` in examples:
```javascript
import { OBJExporter } from 'three/examples/jsm/exporters/OBJExporter.js';
const exporter = new OBJExporter();
const objString = exporter.parse(object3D);
// Write to file (Node.js)
import fs from 'fs';
fs.writeFileSync('output.obj', objString);
```
## Exporting with World Transforms
To export geometry in world coordinates:
```javascript
// Update world matrices first
root.updateMatrixWorld(true);
// Clone and transform geometry
const worldGeometry = mesh.geometry.clone();
worldGeometry.applyMatrix4(mesh.matrixWorld);
// Create new mesh for export
const exportMesh = new THREE.Mesh(worldGeometry);
const objData = exporter.parse(exportMesh);
```
## Merging Multiple Geometries
```javascript
import { mergeGeometries } from 'three/examples/jsm/utils/BufferGeometryUtils.js';
const geometries = [];
root.traverse((obj) => {
if (obj instanceof THREE.Mesh) {
const geom = obj.geometry.clone();
geom.applyMatrix4(obj.matrixWorld);
geometries.push(geom);
}
});
const merged = mergeGeometries(geometries);
const mergedMesh = new THREE.Mesh(merged);
const objData = exporter.parse(mergedMesh);
```
## Node.js ES Module Setup
For running Three.js in Node.js:
```json
// package.json
{ "type": "module" }
```
```javascript
// script.js
import * as THREE from 'three';
import { OBJExporter } from 'three/examples/jsm/exporters/OBJExporter.js';
```
