This reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask.

In the mtl file exported by MoI there is an "illum" tag (set to 2 I think). What does this do Michael?

I ask because models I import into UVMapper (and others) show up as really bright in the ogl display. I need to use "Overide White Balance" to see anything.

Strangely, the same models imported into Simlab Composer look perfectly lit so I guess it is ignoring some setting and applying a standard of its own?

This same issue manifested itself in the Max trial but with fbx. I exported my fbx from Composer (keeps material assignments). Importing the fbx back into Composer showed the model at the same brightness but import the model into Max and it seemed brighter.
