Convert tga to obj

Conversion of tga file format to obj file format ^beta

Search for tga to obj converter or software able to handle these file types.

Found 2 different conversion types using the same filename extensions.

TGA format is used for raster graphics and OBJ format stores geometry or 3D meshes, so it is unlikely direct tga to obj conversion is doable.

What is possible though is to use a 3D modeling tool and use TGA texture on existing OBJ mesh to produce a 3D model, but saving it whole would require a different format, such as FBX or something similar.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned tga to obj. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
