What is OBJ file?
An .OBJ file contains data taken from a Wavefront 3D model. It has a header, which consists of fixed-size 32-bit integers that represent the number of vertices, faces, and edges in the file. It also contains data for each vertex and face in the form of floating point values representing the location on the XYZ axes and U and V coordinates.
