By the time I wrote this post, Away3D4 was still in alpha version. Unlike Away3D 3.X, there was no Metaseq parser/loader available 🙁 That’s not a problem since we can export MQO 3D model to OBJ using Metaseq itself. The problem is the export settings can be tricky and take some trials-and-errors to get it right.

Here’s what I did to export my MQO model to OBJ:

• It’s better that you remove unnecessary layers like bone and anchor. Save your model as other file and remove those unnecessary layers.
• Leave the size to 1.0
• Away3D use different axis than Metaseq, we need to convert our module axis.Choose the axis to POV-RAY, this is the one that compatible with Away3D
• Select the UV mapping and also select Invert V
• Export Normal Vector and Grouping
• You can export Material Library, which means Metaseq will export OBJ and MTL file. Since I prefer to embed my textures inside my SWF file, I uncheck this options and will assign the textures/materials later using ActionScript.
