4.6 isn't importing Dreadworks Arc SCi Fi obj's textures. Even when you help it find the folder and file it won't load them.

    What file type are the textures?

    This is just plain .obj files with no Poser-style figure or prop files? Textures can have some weird things go wrong in this case. Do you have all the files, .obj and textures, all in the same folder (and where is this folder)? The .obj file format doesn't take account of textures at all, there ought to be a matching .mtl file with the same name, which contains all the texture references. Do you have this?

    All I know is is everything is in My DAZ Library. Simple fact is Studio opens some and not others for whatever reason. It's why I don't like Studio. I click the very texture file it says it needs but won't open it or any of the others. They're simple JPEG's.

    So what you are trying to do is import an obj file with mtl links to textures? Or are you load from a file in Daz Studio and it's not finding the textures?

    The only time I have ever had issue with DS not allowing me to open a texture file is when there is a format difference, eg it's looking for a png and you're trying to direct it to a jpeg.

    Can you post a screencap of the error its giving you pls?

    I just don't get why it will load everything for one model but not the next; where the second is in same overall folder as the former. I got two free models as a subscriber to Dreamlight and neither of them loaded all the templates. They told me they were old and would not load and there's nothing to do about it now.... I've Vic 4, Negarian Base and The Corridor...the first two load fully (and all in My DAZ 3D Library). The Corridor did load fully at one time but now it shows as an untextured obj. The screen shot would simply be the dialog box where it's looking into the folder of texture files, which it won't load for whatever reason. Says it can't read the file...

    Now on my old XP (now on 7), along with an older version of Studio, everything loaded. Now it's hit or miss.

    Ah, very old DS scene (.daz) files will not correctly load their uvs in newer builds of DS. At one time the fix was to load into and save from DS2, if that's your issue and if you have a copy.

    Simular issue here. No matter what i try, Daz will not recognize jpg's as a proper format to import. PNG's are fine. Help would be much appreciated!

    macOS. Use the Public Build. (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/5003831/#Comment_5003831)
