.obj import from cad, geomagic
I have a client that gave me a .dxf file to convert to a pen outline drawing render.
Now i asked the client to export the dxf file to .obj, so i can import it into maya.
in maya, blender, topogun and bodypaint i get errors and it dose not show up.
In Zbrush i can see the model. now i try to export it again from zbrush and then import it into Maya.
Dose not work.
So i`m stuck with a working dxf file that i cant convert.
btw the exported dxf file came from geomagic a 3d scanning program.
Anybody have a solution for me?
And they can`t export it to 3ds for some reason while the specification says it can.
Btw the dxf file is a full mesh object (3d scanning)
Thanks for the help!

And seems you will have no display if there is no mtl file with the original exported model.
