Started back with 3D modeling again. Prompted by LuxRender 1.6 update and Blender 2.78. I still run tests with my Converter with OBJ scenes imported into Blender. I don’t know if it is code in LuxRender Lux Core, or the Blender 3.X Python, but some conversions failed in some materials where I was sure they worked before. Went over code and made a few changes here and there. Seems to handle all scenes I throw at it without any hiccups. ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/2/4/d/24d169527506779b5c5e0a3588781099528f126f.png) That scene is an undoctored convert from a scene I either purchased or got free from DAZ3D recently. I also noticed something else…All OBJ scenes or objects with materials using images that had spaces in the path were not loaded. I think this may have happened starting in Blender 2.77, as I didn’t notice previously. I tweaked the Blender OBJ importer, so that it works with pathnames that have spaces. Whether it had it previously or not, I have it importing with spaces in pathnames now. I did not search to see if this was solved by someone else already, but needed to get it to work so I could continue testing my Converter. Just replace the existing one in your addons folder (io\_scene\_obj).
