How to Convert MB to OBJ

By Katrina Matterhorn

An OBJ file is a 3-D image file that contains 3-D coordinates and texture maps. It is a graphics software file compatible with several graphics programs such as Meshlab, Newtek Lightwave 3D and Wavefront 3D. The MB file is a graphics file created by the Autodesk Maya program and is compatible with Autodesk applications; it isn't, however, compatible with other graphics programs. If you want to view your MB file in other applications, the Autodesk Maya does have a converter features so you can convert your MB file to an OBJ file.
