Why convert VRPACKAGE to OBJ?
Converting .vrpackage to .OBJ makes sense when you just need the raw static geometry in a widely compatible format that nearly every 3D and CAD tool reads. OBJ is simple and universal, which is why it is a safe fallback when a target program cannot read the SimLab container or richer formats.
How to convert VRPACKAGE to OBJ
SimLab Composer APP
Open with File > Open, then File > Export and choose OBJ (*.obj); it writes the mesh plus a .mtl material file and textures. Works on Windows and macOS.
SimLab CADVRter APP
Load the SimLab content into the stand-alone CADVRter converter and export .obj for a quick geometry-only handoff.
Unzip then convert via Blender FREE
Rename to .zip, extract any packed mesh, import into Blender and use File > Export > Wavefront (.obj).
About these formats
A .vrpackage file is a self-contained virtual reality scene created with SimLab Composer or SimLab VR Studio. It is a ZIP archive that bundles 3D models, textures, lighting, animations, and…

Wavefront OBJ (3D geometry)
An OBJ file is a 3D model in the Wavefront OBJ format - a plain-text list of vertices, faces, and surface normals. Open it free with Blender, the Microsoft 3D Viewer on Windows, or…
Open .OBJ details →Quality & what to watch
- OBJ is static only, so any animation in the scene is lost along with all VR interactivity.
- Materials go into a separate
.mtlfile and reference external texture images that must travel with the.obj. - OBJ supports basic materials, not modern PBR, so shaders will likely need rebuilding in the target app.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there a second .mtl file?
.mtl sidecar holds material and texture references, so keep both files together.Does OBJ keep animation?
.fbx, .glb or .gltf instead.Will OBJ open anywhere?
Can I get the geometry without SimLab Composer?
.vrpackage to reach its resource files, but SimLab Composer or CADVRter is the reliable way to produce a clean .obj.
