Objects obj combine multiple to one texture map |

I would like to import an object (obj) that has multiple texture maps and then export it with one map that combines all visible textures and discards all invisible sub surface maps for that object. -or-
How can I break up an imported object (obj) model by material so each piece of the model will be exported as separate objects? I.e. the object I am working with has 10 material maps so when I export there needs to be 10 separate object exported.

In all likelihood, you won't be able to reliably break it up into separate objects as materials are assigned on a "per face" basis, and, as such,
will not form a manifold (closed) mesh if separated from the main model.
What you will have to do is enter the UV mapping system and consolidate all the UV mapping into a single UV region. You will then have to consolidate the different "chunks" of 2D textures into a single map in the 2D editor of your choice (Adobe PS, PSP, theGIMP, etc.) to match your new UV mapping. There is no way to automate this process without a texture baking function, which Wings doesn't have. (No proper renderer supported for this.) |

Thank you for your quick response. I am very interested in the Texture Baking process. I would like to know of any resources out there you can tell me about.
