Question by Gush_Creative · May 26, 2017 at 01:50 PM · animation vr augmented-reality importing mesh manipulation

Why are materials not being applied to imported Solidworks files to Unity for VR viewing?

Hi Unity Community,

New to Unity so would appreciate some guidance on the below:

I am investigating options to input my own Solidworks models into my HTC VIVE. So far I have been able to follow this example - http://www.cad-vr.com/solidworks-vr/

However, when importing the OBJ file, the model was grey and had all its materials and appearances.

Is there a way to import from a Solidworks/OBJ files where it includes all finishing or do I need to manually re-apply them in Unity?

Furthermore, if I were to import a model of a TV/Screen, is it possible to upload looping video content (or perhaps even live feed?) to the designated area?

I would appreciate some advice or assistance on how to achieve the above - and perhaps more?
