When loading as OBJ I didn't have access to the material library. As per your suggestion I tried using AWD instead but once I use the bitmap data from the material to try and reapply as a WhiteShadingBitmapMaterial it doesn't work and all I get is the white color material. A few posts up you'll see exactly how I am grabbing the bitmap data. Thanks again, I know your time is limited, but I do sincerely appreciate the help.
