This is a great idea!
I wasn't able to load in a test model created from (if I recall correctly) Maya:
http://www.synthscribe.com/misc/sample.objhttp://www.synthscribe.com/misc/sample.mtlI got the following error:
Code:
---------------------------
OBJ2MDL
---------------------------
'' ??????????.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
There weren't any textures at all in the above; could that cause problems?
