imported 3rd party obj with mtl file

[SgtSlick]

Imported into Maya 2018 (Mac) an obj from turbosquid that has an .mtl file. I use the Arnold Renderer.

How do I get Arnold to recognize the mtl file? I have textures and lights turned on but model appears as greyscale in viewport and when rendered. In addition, both .obj and .mtl files are in the same folder.

Did the model come with texture files like jpg, png etc.?
A mil file is only meant to link textures but it does not contain them.

Sebastien,

Zipped folder contained only the .obj file and the .mtl file. I'll contact Turbosquid and ask for the textures and materials files.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I have the same problem, what was the solution?

Solution was I had to go back to turbosquid and ask for the texture files; .png's, jpg's. as mtl file does not contain those.
