@GrahamPlumb Unfortunately, neither the current release nor the version you are using are able to export the OBJ’s without the material and texture files.
The only workaround I can think of is to have a script running which watches your export folder and automatically deletes MTL & PNG/JPG files as they are created.
Here’s an AI-generated [USE THIS CODE AT YOUR OWN RISK] Python script which uses the watchdog library to accomplish this:
import os
import time
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
# Folder to monitor
WATCH_FOLDER = "path/to/your/watch/folder"
# File extensions to delete
TARGET_EXTENSIONS = {".mtl", ".jpg", ".png"}
class FileDeletionHandler(FileSystemEventHandler):
"""Custom event handler for deleting specific files."""
def on_created(self, event):
"""Triggered when a file or folder is created."""
if not event.is_directory:
self.handle_file(event.src_path)
def on_modified(self, event):
"""Triggered when a file or folder is modified."""
if not event.is_directory:
self.handle_file(event.src_path)
def handle_file(self, file_path):
"""Delete the file if it matches the target extensions."""
_, ext = os.path.splitext(file_path)
if ext.lower() in TARGET_EXTENSIONS:
try:
os.remove(file_path)
print(f"Deleted: {file_path}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error deleting {file_path}: {e}")
def monitor_watch_folder():
"""Start monitoring the watch folder."""
event_handler = FileDeletionHandler()
observer = Observer()
observer.schedule(event_handler, WATCH_FOLDER, recursive=False)
print(f"Monitoring folder: {WATCH_FOLDER}")
observer.start()
try:
while True:
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Stopping monitor...")
observer.stop()
observer.join()
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Ensure the watch folder exists
if not os.path.exists(WATCH_FOLDER):
print(f"Error: The folder '{WATCH_FOLDER}' does not exist.")
else:
monitor_watch_folder()
