Welcome.  Another thing I do, btw, combines Bill's suggestion of using 
trace() with the Wings' ability to export selected polys.  That is, I 
use the information captured from the .obj file to define a spline which 
rides above the mesh surface along a path I want.  I then use the spline 
as a set of "launching" points for the trace() function.  That way you 
only have to manually capture (export) a relatively small number of 
polys to determine the path for a spline, then walk the spline and use 
trace() to get as many surface points as necessary for a smooth animation.
