At one time I was working on the source for Meshlab to have it export proper objs but you would not believe the hoops you need to jump through to get all the needed libraries to build!

Then to use just some source the licenses became more then I was willing to mess with. Easier to write my own sorter.
Okay, tomorrow I will free up some space on my hard drive (I guess I have too many SH files in my downloads folder), and I will make sure to follow your instructions step by step.

At this stage I just have a few questions:

- are we allowed to set more than one material per object? As I have told you before, after processing the balloon model with your sorter (without the meshlab part), Wings only saw one material used for the whole model, rather than the expected two materials. Did it happen because I had skipped the meshlab pre-processing, it is just Wings3d which can't read the sorted file properly, or what else?

- have you looked into smoothing groups already? GR2 editor can't process Wings3d-generated obj files containing smoothing groups but, as I have learned today from targor, it has not problems with smoothing groups exported in 3ds max.

- should we restore the original mtl file, after exporting from meshlab?
