gile[s] import textures with obj?

Community Forums/Developer Stations/gile[s] import textures with obj?

I'm testing importing obj models into gile[s]. Initially it seemed to work great, since the normals/smoothing is preserved. However, when I tried to open a textured obj model in gile[s] the textures were gone. Does gile[s] import texture references as part of the material data? If not, I would certainly think that is an important feature to add.

Hi,

Please use the gile[s] forum for questions about gile[s]. Currently .mtl files are not imported, but it should be a simple operation to get it to work.

Oh yeah, I forgot gile[s] has a forum. If this doesn't happen right away it doesn't really matter since importing obj does get all the separate materials, so it is trivial to just reassociate specific textures with specific materials in gile[s].
