lost 3D texture on 3d obj

Hi!
I load a 3d obj with texture attached to it and it works fine. I animate the obj, and render works. I close the file and re-open it but textures are lost, AS can't find them again even if the map is in the same directory as the AS file. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Cheers for the help.

the same thing happens with some of my files.

OK, found the way. AS is looking for the material file as well as the pictures files of the object in the same folder where the scene you're loading is.

Make sure you have the .mtl file as well as the .jpg or whatever other pic format you have in your scene directory. Hope this helps anybody else.
.mtl files are generated by Zbrush and 3dsmax, the softs I use.

Hi Selgin, sorry to hear this is not solving your problem, I haven't yet encountered the one you are describing. Hope you'll find a way, good luck!
