Understanding .obj files

An .obj file is a format containing data for an object’s vertices, polygons and texture coordinates.

The image below shows a Disguise project containing common .obj files which can be separated into two categories: Screens and Props. A Screen is an object representing a video display, for example a projection dome, and requires a UV map to display video content. A Prop is an object representing a scenographic element, for example a theatre venue, and does not always require a UV map. To read more about where to place media, see the Placing media files for a project page. To read more about UV mapping, see the What is UV mapping page.
