*.obj problem

I have a question about textures in *.obj format.

Does the Irrlicht 3d engine load pre-defined textures in *.obj files ? Whenever I try to load the model it loads without textures. Even when I try loading textures with "setMaterialTexture". It just simply dose not work.

Thanks for any help...

BTW. Great work with Irrlicht ....

Hi, .obj files are loaded completely without textures. The only way to assign a texture to these meshes is using setMaterialTexture, as you mentioned. Some reasons why this may not work are the following:

There are no texture coordinates in the model.
You set the wrong texture. Use setMaterialTexture(0, yourTexture)
The texture could not be loaded. Maybe you wrote a wrong filename? Is the pointer of to texture nonzero?
If your model is totally black, mabe the lighting is on, but no light is there.

I hope these were all possibilities and maybe it helps.
