well just take off the .obj from the file and then load it like this

Code:: CREATE EVENT

model_1=d3d_model_create()
d3d_model_load(model_1,'Model1');

DRAW EVENT

d3d_camera...

tex=background_get_texture(model1_tex);
d3d_model_draw(model_1,x,y,z,tex);

It's impossible to load OBJ into GM without converting it to GM's native 3d format, MPV. There are also scripts to load the OBJ directly into GM but using MPV models is wayyyy faster. Slayer 64 provided the link to the program some posts before this one.

@ Watever742
How is GM supposed to load OBJ models while GM doesn't support them?

Better use MPV models instead of the mosaic light script since they load way faster.
