Obj exports from 3.5 fail in Xnormal

I’m not sure if anyone else has run into this one yet.

When I export an obj from 3.5 to bake in Xnormal, it ends up freezing xnormal indefinitely. If I import the same hi poly .Obj into 3.1 and then export it from 3.1 as an .Obj again and then bring it into Xnormal to bake, it works fine.

I know this post isn’t directly related to zb. But, the obj exporter should be a universal format and work the same as in 3.1 right?

*I get the same lock up from 3.5 and 3.5r2.

Check and see if Polypainting is active on the subtool you are exporting. At the top, when you export the obj, make sure it only says exporting obj and not exporting obj with polypaint. I had the same type of issue yesterday with xnormal and the obj’s turned out, somehow, to have polypainting active. Simply go to Tool>Polypaint and turn off Colorize and re-export. This solved my problem, hopefully it does yours as well.

Same problem here. Ploypainting seems to be the problem. Anyone know how that keeps getting turned on?
