Obj import in Meshmixer without texture

[Anonymous]

I have created a 3d object with texture in 3D builder. Whenever I try to import the obj file in Meshmixer, it loses its texture. I have the obj file in the same folder as the mtl file and the images. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? The mtl file reads as follows:

First of all:

Importing a textured obj to MM only works if you use Import in MM (either on the startup splash screen or via file menu or (if there's a scene already) via the Import button on the left side bar).  It does NOT work if you do something like "open with" via OS file browser or dragging the obj onto the MM window.

-----

If you import MM should automatically set a texture shader for the textured object. But there were reports were users had to drag on of the "world" spheres (=texture shaders) from SHADERS onto the object.

-----

If this doesn't fix it:

What happens if you drag the checkerboard sphere (=UV shader) onto your object:

Shows the object a checkerboard pattern or is it in some pale pink?

If it is pale pink all over MM can't find the .mtl. So open the obj using some text editor. There should be a line at the beginning as "mtllib ./something.mtl". This links to a something.mtl in the same directory. Correct this line (or the mtl's file name) if necessary and reimport the obj to MM.

What happens if you drag one of the world spheres onto your object:

Does the object show some red color?

If so MM finds the .mtl but doesn't find the image files. So there's something wrong with the image filenames the mtl links to. Make sure the images have the very same names the .mtl calls.

If all that is fine:

Do textures show up in some third party app?

What's your graphics card? Did you try to update its drivers already?
