Does anyone know how to get an obj file to work in DAZ?  Thanks for any assistance.

    I found some obj items ~ they said would work in DAZ Studio.  I just don't know how to make them appear to use them.  I have DAZ 4.8.

    Note there are a few gotchas — there ought to be a .mtl file with exactly the same name as the .obj file, this contains colour and texture file references for all the surfaces in the object. If you don't have that, then it will not look like you expect. Also, there are many different ways to create an .obj file, not all of them are properly understood by D|S. There is a small but non-zero chance your object might import either completely transparent, or at a scale that makes it massive or microscopic.

    All these glitches are very easy to fix, but if you don't know what to expect it can be a bit off-putting.
