Hi, I tried importing an obj from another app into nomad. This is what I am getting. I am a bit confused why the colours are not showing up. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/f/f614571ca7816c3650870a36759981d93307541a.jpeg) Thanks. ---

Which scanning app are you using? If using Scaniverse then best to shar GLB directly to Nomad. If you’re sharing OBJ then you need the MTL & JPG texture zipped together with the OBJ (I think?) ---

I use an app called 3D scanner. I exported the glb file but this is what I got. There were no colours. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/a/a3a52b263fb590e261cf989de114f5ef91f25177.jpeg) ---

Try Scaniverse. Also free but has much better export options. GLB to Nomad brings in UV mapped colours. In your image, you haven’t selected PBR+UV in the rendering options, otherwise it would show UV icon at the bottom (I think?) ---

When I select pbr + uv, the app crashes every time. ---

Not sure why though. Does it do that when you select pbr + uv with no model loaded? What is your device & how big is the scan? NVM, i just saw its a really small file. Not sure whats going on there. Looks like you’re on a 2018 ipad pro maybe? ---

I loaded a different scan and it worked. Also I have little storage left in the iPad Pro 2019 which might be why the previous scan did not load. ---

> [@Nipun](#): > > I have little storage left in the iPad Pro Storage doesn’t matter, it’s the RAM that is important. Or maybe the VRAM, how many textures and how big? (8k, 16k?) ---

You have a 2018 iPad Pro. There wasn’t a 2019 version. I got mine in 2019 also - you can check in settings \> general \> about 👍🏻
