Hi Giulio,

You probably want to create a mesh out of the raster model and then save it to obj as suggested by Greg.
You can use Rhino3D for that. Rhino can import xyz files (you can use the GDAL library for converting the tiff to xyz) and create a mesh from 3D points using the command meshpatch.
Hope this helps.

Giuseppe
