Breaking up .obj files

[odst 95]

Hey there,
I tried to post this in3D modelling, but I can't, so I'll put it here
Can some one tell me how to break up an obj file into parts? make the model into arms, legs and the such
Does it require a lot?
Is there a program or something required?
If anyone could answer this it'd be really helpful

It WOULD help if you had a 3D program for that such as Blender. Blender is a free program, but it does take some time to learn. I recently just figure it out enough to make my own models now. I knew how to edit models for some time now, but finally learned how to actually make one.

You have to manually do it yourself. As long as you understand the program and can disassemble the model, you will be able to break it down into parts.

The best two programs out there are 3DS MAX, and Milkshape which is what I use. You can go into groups and delete sections of the model not needed. Simple as that. Or you can get Metasequoia LE and delete a face at a time which can be a long process that's how I started out.
