When I uncomment my other .obj mesh and apply the texture to it, it works fine, but this mesh doesn’t seem to accept the texture. I look it up in the inspector and material = null. Why won’t it accept a material, and then a texture? Advice/thoughts/troubleshooting help?

the .obj in question has many polygons and is very complex; it’s a 3D scan of a room, not sure if that makes a difference.

Could you provide a repro in the Playground?

I fixed it! I used the assets loader (rather than the scene loader) and everything worked!
