but it won't load, and i get the following readout in my error-list
hmm, i tried the file and it loads perfectly on my system (using the help-patch for [model])
_glmReadMTL() failed: can't open material file "/Users/user/Desktop/./vp.mtl". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "glass". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "bone". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "fldkdkgrey". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "redbrick". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "black". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "brass". _glmFindMaterial(): can't find material "dkdkgrey".
OBJ-files support "materials" (e.g. different colors for different parts of the model); these are stored in a separate file that is named inside the .obj-file, in your case it is vp.mtl, which is not there (but this should just be silently ignored if you do not have that file (obviously you cannot use the "material"-message then)
any idea what went wrong???
not really, what do you get ? just nothing ??
restart pd/Gem and try again ... (with the help-patch, probably it is your patch ;-))
