Reading a 3D model with texture


I have a 3D model (.obj) with it's texture (.jpg image) and an .mtl file. I'm trying to read it using Meshlab or Blender. For this I use File->Import .obj. I read that the texture is loaded automatically, however only geometry is read. You can find in this link ( http://filex.univ-nantes.fr/get?k=64lROZKoUzmaslol3hR ) the 3D model with his texture if needed. I will be thankful if someone could explain why this 3D model can't be read or could show how to read it properly.

Thanks


Solution

  • Because there is no texture for the model. The image with the model is an example render of a complete textured model, the obj file has nothing more than two colours, white for the bottle and yellow for the lid.

    Depending on your needs, the sample render can be used as a texture for the front and back. While there should be extra product info on the back you can use the same image on the back if your needs are simple. Note that the image has permanent highlights so will look out of place from some angles.
