Ok, I'm sure the problem is on my end, but I thought I'd post here and ask just in case anyone has any helpful information.
I have a number of object in .OBJ format, with materials. Import seems to be a bit hit and miss on whether I get any materials in at all, which is pretty understandable. I have texture maps for all the materials but I'm sure there are some odd settings somewhere!
Is there anything I should look out for in importing/exporting OBJ files to use in other applications? Any gotchas, or things I shouldn't do? I have Silo and that's what I've been using to twiddle my OBJs.
I'm on AM V12 (latest release of that). If AM V13/14 has better OBJ support, I'll clear space on my credit card and update!
All help and information appreciated.
Nevermind.. I can't get a successful OBJ import as a model from anything I have available. Ugh. The geometry comes in almost right but the materials don't show up properly. Maybe I should code my own up!

YESSSSSSSSSSS!
Thanks, I must have poked that when I was flailing around with my landscape model.. ugh!
I learned something new today, thanks to you!
It renders fine now! -
Ok, I'm sure I must have done something wrong, but somehow my model has glow applied. I've tried deleting and replacing the material, no joy. Rendering in the model window (to check the effects of changng the material) seems to always apply glow, and I've looked (I think) everywhere for something that will turn it off. In desperation I turned it off in the chor, which had no effect (didn't think it would).
Does anyone have any insights as to how I can turn glow off globally? I'm kind of lost.
All help appreciated!

Is there going to be an update for the V12 exporter, or should I free up some cash on my credit card and upgrade to V13?
I'll continue to update the V12 exporter along side V13 as much as possible. However, the V12 version of the A:M SDK does not support weight export, so in this case, it wasn't possible.
Ok, I'll start saving my pennies up then! Thanks for the info!

I've just released a new version of AMXdtsPlus (Torque Model exporter), Beta-6, which is available for Animation:Master version 13 on Windows and OSX Tiger. This version of AMXdtsPlus introduces vertex/cp weight export, and is available to registered users only.
I have also updated the AMXdtsPlus help file to add information on this, and other, features. Both the exporter and help file can be downloaded from the Obsidian Games website.
As always, if there are any issues or questions with this new release, please let me know.

Woo-hoo! Saves me beating my head against Blender...
As soon as my credit card payment clears, I'm getting my copy!
Bought it, got the reg code! Now back to my search for the "make talent" button in A:M..

I just stumbled across this topic by accident, and I'm glad I did!
Have you announced your work on this on the GarageGames forums, via a blog, resource, etc.? I had no idea anyone was working on such a thing! This will save me having to learn something new to get models into my Torque game..
The instant this is done, I'm buying it!

Thanks for putting this out to the public, for free! :-)
I hope someone at GarageGames picks up the DTS exporter, I can become an annoyance to them and see if they'll at least host it in a licensees area. :-)
