<br></div>And that reader is missing texture support, it doesn't read mtl files and it doesn't read the texture coordinates from the obj file. You could try asking on the VTK mailing list to see if someone has a solution for converting obj+tcoords into a vtk dataset. Kiwi's current method for loading textured meshes is to load a vtk dataset with texture coordinates, then use a .kiwi file to associate a png or jpg file. There's not support for multitextures unfortunately, either. Basically, if you can get your mesh to appear with texture coordinates in ParaView, then you can export it for KiwiViewer, too.<br>
