Default Can this be done? Import Question

I know I can open an obj file or 3ds file.

My question is this, Is it possible to open a 3ds or obj file with textures in tact?

If so how?

Hi MBStudios..

.3ds files should load into LW with UVs still in place, they all get assigned to the UV map 'Imported3ds_UVs'. I have had problems with it loosing image file names though, so you may need to check the surface settings are still there. If not just re-assign the images to the surfaces and all should be fine.
