How to create URDF file from 3D model (OBJ)

Question

I have.obj file for 3d model and I wanted to load it in pybullet. I see there is a loadURDF api which loads the URDF files. So in order to load obj I guess first we need to export obj to URDF.

Is there a way to do that either using Maya with bullet plug in or any other methods.

Thanks in advance

At URDF file you can directly use.obj as mesh. Here is an example https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/blob/master/data/teddy_vhacd.urdf
