Hi, guys !
As a side project I am starting a ZBrush plugin for transferring mesh data to
POV. Before I will get details about ZBrush internal structures, I would like to
make a draft workflow: ZBrush->OBJ->POV, but can't find OBJ->POV converter.
Links here are dead:
https://www.povray.org/resources/links/3D_Programs/Conversion_Utilities/
ftp://mystique.servetheweb.com/pub/obj2pov/obj2pov.c
and googling gives nothing. Maybe someone keeps it in a private archive ?
Please, help !

googling I find a same-named java utility
<https://github.com/JossWhittle/Obj2Pov>, but perhaps that's not an option? if
you get no luck, and if the generated .obj only contains vector + face data
lines, I have an old Tcl script which could be adapted (write).
regards, jr.

You are right - java is not for me )

I want also colors and normals, if any in OBJ, will continue search, but thanks
in any case.

You probably won't find one, but consider this:
STL is virtually mesh {}, it's just a few simple line modifications.
IIRC, Cousin Ricky and I have done our own find/replace strategies, so it should
be simple to do OBJ->STL->POV mesh

Thanks, this is an option. Also I've emailed to Paul Bourke, asking him about
permissions for using his works in POV-Lab and about this converter too.
I know, he is using it.

Paying only loose attention to this thread, but I think many use the
windows program PoseRay to convert from Obj (and many other formats) to
POV-Ray SDL.
Some years ago this program ran under wine on linux for me, but I've
done nothing current with it. Plus, I'm a little unsure of the current
status of PoseRay not having seen much recent mention of it. Thomas?

Many thanks for your reply, I was very close to canceling this project, but now
I found exactly what I was looking for - many options and converting from
command line.

Present version (v.3.13.31 - March 2, 2021) works like a charm !
All the best,

Coming too late to this thread, but yes, I would also have suggested
Poseray indeed. It works like a charm for all kind of things.

Hi,
> Poseray indeed. It works like a charm for all kind of things.
It's true, but I am stuck on the following: trying to export data from ZBrush in
OBJ format I found that per-vertex colors are passed non-standard way - in
comments, like described in the following paper:
http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/obj/colour.html
Paul writes that _some_ converters cat read per-vertex colors from three last
numbers in line. I've done a few experiments with PoseRay (small OBJ attached),
but without success, so I am in doubt - am I doing something wrong or it's not
possible 'by design' of PoseRay ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
