Suggestion: Add "Group by Material" to the .obj export format. ;)

When I export out using .obj to my rendering package, I have to change all the materials to match that package.

I typically set all the same materials to a specific color, and when I get into a rendering package, I just change that group to the material I want, and voila!

In this example, there was less than a dozen materials to change! But there were several thousand objects!!!

For SOME reason, your trailer took my mind back into the 70s, to the show Ark II, hehe:

Granted, Ark II is much larger, hehehe
