[Chimera-users] Exporting STL/COLLADA/OBJ with textures

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Joe,
As per the “export” docs...
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/export.html>

COLLADA export includes colors but many readers do not interpret them correctly.
OBJ export is only single color per surface piece.
STL export does not include colors.
X3D, WebGL, ... are more complete and may include what you want.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
