No, thankfully I don't need the materials intact at all - so this shouldn't be a problem for me.

What I'm attempting to do is to import either a .obj or .lwo file into Blender 2.5 with the normals intact - and this is proving difficult :)

From what I can see, Anthony has created the following:

- Patch for Blender 2.4 to preserve normals
- Import script for Blender 2.4 to import normals

- Patch for Blender 2.5 to preserve normals
- But no import script for Blender 2.5 to import normals - which is my problem :(
