I have downloaded a model in .obj format, and with it came an .mtl file.
Also a folder containing all textures (It’s a building with lots of textures).
Is there a way to load all textures at once for the model in Blender?
So far the only way I know is to add each texture individually, for each surface, which takes allot of time =/ ^^
I haven’t been able to figure this out on my own, so I could use some help if anyone knows how this works, or if it’s possible?
I do this quite often. As long as the mtl file has the images defined (as fibilis said), and the images are in the correct place (folder structure), then when importing the obj, make sure that the Image Search text box is checked.
Blender will import all images and assign them to the correct places. Note that the automatic material generation is a bit shit (basic, but good enough), so you will have to modify the nodes.
And thanks @filibis and @burnin for the example (=
It helped me notice that the all the textures in this case were converted to .png files, but still were registered as .dds format in the .mtl file.
I renamed all .dds instances to .png and changed the path to the current path of the folder where I keep the model and textures.
Now when I create nodes, it finds the texture-files directly in the list! ^^
File names; HP Tall Building 05.obj HP Tall Building 05.mtl
My Blender OBJ Import Settings;
The original path for the textures in the .mtl file look like this:
This is an example of what folder path I keep for the model;
E:\Misc. 3D Buildings\OBJ-Formats\HPBuilding05
And the the textures E:\Misc. 3D Buildings\OBJ-Formats\HPBuilding05\Textures
In the .mtl-file I changed the path to;
map_Ka E:\Misc. 3D Buildings\OBJ-Formats\HPBuilding05\Textures\rooftopbricks05.png
Is there a way to write the folder path so it takes the textures from the folder ‘\Textures’ regardless of where it’s base folder '\HPBuilding05' is?
(That is, if I can skip this part ‘E:\Misc. 3D Buildings\OBJ-Formats’.)
Blender finds the textures now anyway, so that’s an improvement, and I’ve assigned all of them to this model (about 30 images), though I have other models with allot more textures! ^^
But if I understand it right, I have to re-assign them individually using nodes?
Though I was hoping for a way to load an .mtl file so that blender creates the nodes automatically ^^
