Can you embed textures in an OBJ file?
But it does not embed textures themselves either. So you have to give .obj, .mtl and all your texture files (you can use ‘Copy’ option of the exporter to copy all needed textures in a subdir next to exported .obj). But there is yet another issue with OBJ – filenames must absolutely not contain any space.
What happens when I import OBJ into Blender?
When 3D builder exports as an obj it puts the obj file, an mtl (I think), and all of the textures. When I import the obj to blender, not surprisingly, it drops all the textures and makes the object white.
Where are materials stored in an OBJ file?
.OBJ (Wavefront) file itself only stores geometry data, it does not keep anything regarding materials or textures. Materials (including references [paths] to textures) are stored in companion .MTL file/format.
What should I do when I export an OBJ file?
When you export an OBJ, you have some options that need paying attention to… ‘Write Materials’ is most notable, make sure it is checked. Try that 1st, if you are still having troubles, try changing your ‘Path Mode:’ to something else like ‘Strip Paths’, etc…

Why is my model not displaying in OBJ files?
I figured that the copy of p5 contained in the libraries folder in the sample was out of date, so replaced it with the copy of “p5” found in the root of the extraction of the download. That satisfied the “loadModel”. I figured that the download contained TWO p5 versions not in synch with each other and that the sample had been missed.
Do you need space for an OBJ file?
But there is yet another issue with OBJ – filenames must absolutely not contain any space. This is simply not supported by the format, and if your mtl and/or texture files have some, they won’t get loaded. When you export an OBJ, you have some options that need paying attention to… ‘Write Materials’ is most notable, make sure it is checked.
