Exporting a model with face colors

Post by Felix_Helix_TM »

Hello, I recently made a simple 3d model of extruded text. I used the "set color per face" functionality to change the top of the model to red, while setting the appearance of the model to brown. However, after exporting the model (to a wavefront obj) the face colors disappear, and the model is simply brown. Is there anyway to fix this, I'm not sure if I'm doing something improperly, or if it's simply not possible to export in this manner. I could not find anything related to this while searching for a solution. Thank you for your time.
