<div dir="ltr">My preference would be to develop a new OBJ importer that uses the OBJ reader. Making the OBJ reader depend on rendering may impact some folks negatively. By the way, I would defer this for a few months if possible. We have a project targeted towards importing material properties for ray tracing etc. I don't think that we will follow the importer route and we will probably develop a new infrastructure. It may fit better here.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>-berk</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 22, 2014 at 12:32 PM, Peter Karasev <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:karasevpa@gmail.com" target="_blank">karasevpa@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Hi, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"> I'm hoping to get an update for vtkOBJReader integrated in that enables reading material-texture-library (.mtl) files.
