MTL Material library specifications

Hi!
I’m searching a reference manual for the .MTL Material Library specifications by Alias.
This is a material specification for the .OBJ 3d format.

Thanks
Max

Actually OBJ was originally written by Wavefront IIRC.

Found some MTL info here.

and here.

There’s a good spec available at http://ftp.se.kde.org/pub/multimedia/HDF/pub/misc/file-formats/graphic-formats/obj_spec.txt.gz

It doesn’t explicitly cover the mtl format, unfortunately, but it does a good job of going over the obj format - it’s the official spec.

There’s a pdf version here: http://myhome.hitel.net/~aeokiss/datas/ObjViewer/obj.pdf
