I've successfully exported a low-poly model from 3DS Max into the Obj
format, and got it displayed in Away3D (3.4 FP10 branch) after wrestling
with scale values for a while :)
It looks great. But when I apply a BitmapMaterial to it I get an ever-so
brief moment where I see the model textured, and then the material vanishes
and I get a random flat colour with black wireframe (as if it's done a
material: "random#" on it).

I'm setting the material on the loader:

loader = Obj.load("../models/fighter.obj", { material: mat2, x: 0, y: 0, z:
0, scaling: 0.1 } );

As I couldn't see a way to set the material on the target itself:

private function onLoaderSuccess(event:Loader3DEvent):void {
target = ObjectContainer3D(event.loader.handle);
}

All I can think is that an "ObjectContainer3D" isn't a single object, but
rather a container to hold many objects?? If this is the case how can I get
a single object from the loader so I can add my material to it?

Even after this I'm still not sure why I see the textured object briefly
before it vanishes.

It's the only object in the scene. There are no light sources added.

Cheers,

Rich
