I was trying to import a .obj file that has vertex colors into a scene following the available documentation ( Use the OBJ File Loader Plugin - Babylon.js Documentation ). The problem is that when I add the flag BABYLON.OBJFileLoader.IMPORT_VERTEX_COLORS = true; it gives me the error in the image belo…

In fact the string does not need to be base64 encoded, but you need to instruct the scene loader to use the “.obj” plugin loader, as you did in your second PG: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#HX99ST#4 There’s still the error because there’s a bug in the .obj loader when handling the vertex color…

Your .obj file has most certainly no vertex color data (or a color data section not recognized by the loader): this error is what I get when I try to import a .obj file that has no vertex color data and if I set BABYLON.OBJFileLoader.IMPORT_VERTEX_COLORS to true.

Yeah I am thinking maybe the file is the problem here because when I try to load that file in other engines that accept vertex colors I have to import the mtl and jpg file for the texture to appear. I am diverging a bit from the point of the topic but do you know if Babylonjs has a standard approac…

If a .mtl file with the same name than the .obj file exists in the same repository than the .obj file, it will be parsed and the textures loaded.

I just tried that and you are right, the engine tries to search for the .mtl file with the same name. The problem is I am loading the files externally as in I am giving the user the option for load their .obj files from the local system and when the engine tries to load the .mtl file it says that t…

A possibility would be to ask the user to make a .zip with all the files and upload this archive. Then you can decompress the file (there are javascript lib to do that) and extract the different files. Or if it is an option, you can use .glb files instead of .obj, as you can embed everything in a s…

The .mtl file’s location is located in the .obj file. It is defined in a line starting with matlib following by a URL . this URL can be anything you want. It can be a location on a remote server, it can be base64 encoded. This way you can deliver any .obj file with a remote-located .mtl file.

I think this issue is still valid, I’ve got the same problem. obj file content g tetrahedron v 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.666 0.3 0.1 v 2.00 1.00 1.00 0.2 0.666 1. v 1.00 2.00 1.00 0.2 0.1 0.666 v 1.00 1.00 2.00…

The string needs to be converted to a base64 data url, otherwise it won’t work. It requries a bit more than ‘data:’ before the content. Also - i thought you wanted to do that to the .mtl file, and not the .obj file. This needs to be done inside the .obj file that is stored on the server

Im on it to put the obj properly in there. In this case, i need the colors in the obj.file in the format p point values c color values (rgb) v p1 p2 p3 c1 c2 c3 UPDATED PLAYGROUND: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#HX99ST#3
