[Ves] Kiwi obj texture

[Eric Rolf]

Pat, 

Do you know of a good way to convert and obj with an mtl or .tga onto a formate kiwi can render textures with. I can load obj fine alone with other models but can't figure a good way to convert obj and mtl or tga to a format kiwi can texture render.

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.
