PAS OBJ Importer (Platinum Arts Sandbox OBJ Importer) is a dedicated utility tool designed to convert and bring external 3D Wavefront (.obj) files into the Platinum Arts Sandbox (PAS) game engine.
The main purpose of the tool is to bridge the gap between 3D modeling software and the engine’s map-editing pipeline by handling the required configuration steps automatically. Core Features
Automated .cfg File Generation: The primary feature of the importer is its ability to automatically generate the necessary configuration (.cfg) files required by the Platinum Arts Sandbox engine. Instead of manually writing code to map the 3D asset, the tool creates these instructions seamlessly.
Geometry Conversion: It parses standard .obj mesh data (including vertices, edges, and polygon faces) and structures them into a format that the engine can read natively.
Material Mapping Integration: It helps manage the relationship between the 3D model geometry and its corresponding Material Template Library (.mtl) or texture maps, ensuring that the engine correctly paths and displays the asset’s visual surface.
Workflow Simplification: It removes the complex technical overhead usually associated with adding custom static props, structural pieces, or obstacles into a PAS environment. This allows creators to focus on map design rather than file manual conversion.
If you are currently setting up a project or encountering errors while importing assets, let me know: What version of Platinum Arts Sandbox you are using?
Are you getting any error messages during the conversion or inside the map editor?
Do your models include complex multi-texture maps or simple textures?
