Textures black after importing obj file I've been having this issue for a good day or two. Whenever I import obj files to blender the textures are black. The version of blender I'm currently using is v2.74. I was wondering if someone could assist me on this because I'm trying to finish something for Garry's Mod.
You need to add a light to see (if everything is dark you can only see black).

You simply imported the mesh, there is nothing else in your scene. You have no lights in your scene. You (kind of) need a light to see your object.

For just a simple test render, or so you can see your object, just add a few lamps. If you add just one then the side in the shadow will still be black.
