Rhino does not import MTL file when importing the OBJ file.
After importing the OBJ (import setting group and import MTL enabled) a few simple materials are generated only containing colors (not related with the textures)
both are in the same directory
both have the same name
Contents of the MTL file if I open it in a text reader:
3ds Max Wavefront OBJ Exporter v0.97b - (c)2007 guruware

There are 18 OBJ files with corresponding MTL files in that zip file.
MTL files are simple text files that you can open in any text editor.
None of those 18 MTL files reference any of the JPG texture files that are included. As such, these textures will not show up in Rhino.
You can drag and drop a JPG file onto an object in the Rhino viewport to assign that image as the “color” of a texture. You can then browse to other images in that folder to assign transparency or bump.

Alright, thanks for your reply. From your answer, I take it that these MTL files are not generated correctly. Since none of those MTL files reference any of the JPG texture files. Is that correct?
