Dear Viviana, I had this problem recently. I seem to remember that it was solved by saving the files with no spaces in the names. so instead of, for example "skull 2.obj", save as "skull2.obj" This will help the textures associate properly. Then when you've converted to .ply, it doesn't matter, as the textures are per vertex and included in the file, rather than in a separate texture file. But bear in the mind the caveats Bill mentioned earlier in the message stream.
