Imported OBJ file only has one material

[Anonymous]

Hello! For some reason, whenever I import an OBJ file into 3DS Max 2017, the model has only one of the materials that it should. 3DS Max 2015 loads it correctly, but 3DS Max 2017 does not. I've tried resetting 2017's settings and it didn't work. What do I do?

What it should look like, loaded in 3DS Max 2015The error, in 3DS Max 2017

You can try the following:

- in Max go to Customize/Configure User Paths..., switch to External Files tab and add the path with your .dds files

- or move the files to an appropriate path listed above

- put the scene materials into your preferred material editor and edit the paths to the .dds files

- hit Shift-T to fire up the Asset Tracking and edit the paths there (select the missing, right click, Set Path)

Any ideas or questions regarding @lequangvinhbkhn 's post?

Are your display view port settings the same in both programs? When you open the material, is the "display materials" option selected?

It would be helpful if you had time to give an update, that way other Community Members can benefit from your process 😄
