3D Objects Not Loading Textures

[NaturalGlitch]

I have the .mtl file and the textures in the right places, and importing it into Blender works just fine, but in Moho, it only shows its wireframe. What am I doing wrong?

assuming you're using .obj to import -- check that the exported .mtl includes a link to the texture file

e.g.

Code: Select all

# Blender 4.5.4 LTS MTL File: 'lit cube texture.blend'
# www.blender.org

newmtl Material
Ns 250.000000
Ka 0.380952 0.380952 0.380952
Kd 0.800449 0.025219 0.070212
Ks 0.500000 0.500000 0.500000
Ke 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Ni 4.050000
d 1.000000
illum 3
map_Kd brick_modern_0119_01_s.jpg

if it doesn't, either check that the export settings in your 3d program enable (enforce) texture output - or edit the .mtl (plain text) and add it manually with a map_Kd line as above.

if it does, check the transparency setting (the d line) in the .mtl is greater than 0.

all works fine here. Moho 14.4, blender 4.5.4

Thanks!
What I had to do was use the 'Find Textures' button in Blender, then export the project as an OBJ file, which created an MTL file with all the correct paths straight up.
I imported that into Moho, and everything works fine now.
Thanks again!

an update on this after I've tried some further experiments -- it seems as though the .mtl is loaded and processed only once when the .obj is initially imported. IOW edits to the .mtl don't appear get applied to the imported .obj even after closing and re-starting moho.
