I just bought a model from turbosquid and it is in obj format, mtl didnt come with the model....when I import the model into TG2 it wont show up nor it will render.....I have attached the screenshot......and rendered image.....all I get is those 3 axis arrows.....
please dont tell me I got ripped off....
Have you tried importing the obj into any other application ? (Blender and Wingz (and poseray ?)will load obj files...)
If that works try exporting from that app as an obj..then try to load and render in tg..
Worth a whirl..

I tried importing into PE version of maya and it wont load......havent tried 3ds max.....I dont know how to use poseray and I will try downloading blender.....
**EDIT**
WOW!!!......blender is CONFUSING!!!
Don't waste your time with Blender. Whatever it does well, it isn't importing/exporting obj's.
Try PoseRay. There really isn't much to it. If you can open it with PoseRay you're halfway there.

If you can't, you're probably hosed.

If you're still stuck in about 6~8 hours I could take a look at it, but I'm pretty busy at the moment.
Like Harvey said, PoseRay is really pretty good at opening and having fun with an object.
Have you tried scaling it down or backing out to see if the object can be viewed from a higher distance? Those movement arrows are huge. When I scale one of my objects to get arrows of that large I have to back way off to see anything.
Agree with Ogre ... it seems that you are inside the object.
