Re: Invisible OBJs...
-----------------------------------
"...did 3DOC combine all 300 mini OBJs, into 1 OBJ?"

Yes. But kept diffuse texture calls, all ~315 of them.

" ...did you try to export/ re-save the, as you said, properly loaded .obj from free PropViewer?"

No, as it loses [b][i]all [/i][/b]texture calls. For a dozen or so, no big deal. For ~[b][i]315[/i][/b], uh...

But, you got me thinking: 
Could I 'graft' PV's OBJ to my 'patched' MTL with the transparency calls ??

Yes, but...
First, make a back-up copy of PV's exported OBJ.
Using eg Wordpad (Notepad may choke) add line to start...
mtllib WTPV.mtl
Save over OBJ

Unpack my attached zip file to same location. Has my Alpha masks pulled from model's PNG Alpha channels, plus my hacked MTL

If you import PV's hacked OBJ at ~15%, you may need y-offset of ~ -20.

There's an odd 'facet' due material #315 calling white, it may be to allow you to paste an inscription. I just zoomed in Material room until I got a clear click to select it, set it invisible...[img]https://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/680/wtpvtest.jpg[/img]
