Importing .obj files with colour and texture

Just wondering how you import a .obj file while retaining the colour and texture that are also within the same folder but look to be separate from the .obj?

For reference .OBJs get info about their material & color from associated .MTL files - which are typically in the same folder, but do not have to be. The .mtl files are listed within the .obj file. Both .obj and .mtl files are plain text / viewable / editable.

Within the .obj you can check for references to material files (.mtl), and similar check the .mtl files for references to image textures. If any paths are incorrect - fix them and save. Or make them local to same directory (i.e. have no path) - and put all relevant files in the same location. Moho should then load the textures OK.
