Hey guys, how can I import an OBJ with all of its materials and textures already assigned to those materials? Unfortunately manually assigning all materials is not an option as there are more than 150 different materials each with its own albedo, normals etc.

Thanks in advance!

if you can I'd advise to export your geo as fbx instead, fbx will come in with materials out of the box

.obj by default comes in with groups and material assignments, but not materials themselves

however there is Labs OBJ Importer you can try, which sounds like it may be creating materials for you if you have valid .mtl file and textures located in the same path
