Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused batch OBJ exporter that ties into Blender's export menu and covers UV maps, material files and scene positioning.

What is Batch Obj Exporter?

Batch OBJ Exporter is a Blender add-on built for exporting multiple OBJ files from a scene in a few clicks. Rather than exporting objects one at a time, it handles complex scenes and multiple models in a single pass. The add-on is accessed directly from Blender's export menu.

Export settings are customizable, covering axis alignment and file naming. One option preserves UV maps, and another preserves location data, letting you export an entire scene and import everything back together in place. You can also choose to export a .obj file for each object on its own, or add a .mtl file alongside each exported .obj.

The add-on is noted as useful for VR work with Unreal and Unity. It lists compatibility across a wide span of Blender releases, from the 2.8 series through 4.0, and was updated for full compatibility with Blender 4.0.2. It is distributed under the GPL license.

Who is Batch Obj Exporter best for?

How much does Batch Obj Exporter cost?
