Very thin materials that have an amount of translucency from sub-surface scattering, such as paper or leaves, can use the 'Back-lighting/Translucency' options as a cheap solution to emulate the effect of sub-surface scattering. The 'Advanced' section contains properties not commonly used, but necessary for extra control.The 'Optimizations' section contains properties that allow you to fine-tune the performance of the material.The 'Overall' section contains properties applied to the material as a whole, such as opacity.The 'Coating' section contains properties commonly used for clear-coat reflections.The 'Sub-Surface Multiple Scattering' section contains properties for sub-surface multiple scattering for modeling complex materials such as wax and skin.The 'Base Properties' section contains the most commonly used properties of a material, covering diffuse, reflections, sheen, refraction, sub-surface transmission and single scattering effects.The material is grouped into several sections: It offers two layers of reflection (a coating and base reflection), transmission/refraction, diffuse lighting and sub-surface scattering to accurately model a wide variety of materials ranging from glass, metals, plastic to skin. That's OBJ support in Cinema 4D Release 17.This is a general purpose material that is physically plausible, energy conserving and aligned with 'PBR' based principles. I assume that more presets will be added at a later date, so definitely check this presets drop-down, because there may be one specific to the application that you're exporting into. Now by default, we do have a preset here for 3ds Max that says the options in the format that 3ds Max would expect, flipping the X-axis and exporting the objects as groups. Or you have the option to flip and swap the axes, which can be handy, because some applications use different coordinate systems than Cinema 4D. So if we go in and we choose to export an OBJ, we'll go ahead and call this just "LFA-export." And here we have options to adjust the scale, adjust the normals, adjust the materials, because sometimes you might want no materials, sometimes you might just want the material names, and sometimes you want the actual. And of course, most of these same options are available when you export OBJ as well. So of course having all of those options for how you import an OBJ file makes it super flexible to bring files from different applications in. You see all the materials down here and all the objects here in the Object Manager. And here now we have our Lexus LFA, complete with all of the materials. You'll see down here in the status bar that it's loading all of the objects and polygons that have to do with that car model. I can invert the transparency, flip the axes, lots of options here. I can choose to bring in a default material that's white, or randomize the colors on all of the object parts, which will make it easy to see the different parts of the objects. I can choose to import the materials or just the object names. I can adjust the Phong angle, I can adjust the texture coordinates, I can split the objects based on the objects, the groups or the materials. I can adjust how the normals are calculated whether they're calculated via a Phong tag or the vertices themselves. Now if I load this OBJ into Cinema 4D, you can see that we have lots of options available. MTL is the sidecar file that includes all of the materials that go with an OBJ that previously, Cinema 4D couldn't do anything with. And you can see that we have an OBJ and an MTL file. And I'm just going to extract it in place here.

Once that's done downloading, we'll go ahead and extract the ZIP file that shows up in the downloads folder. This one here, though, does have textures and is available for commercial use. Now of course there's another model here that's available in 3DS, OBJ, and C4D, but as we look at this one, it doesn't have any textures and also it's not licensed for commercial use. So here in Google, I'm just going to search for a 3D Lexus LFA model, and you can see that one of the first options here is actually only available in the OBJ format. This comes in especially handy when you're searching for models online. Cinema 4D Release 17 includes more complete and reliable support for the Wavefront OBJ file format.
