Most we’ve achieved though is an obj export (right) that’s got base colors and I tried to manually add a texture back to it but… also gets confusing

I have a file someone made from ten years ago that I want to export to blender along with its textures but can’t seem to get it working right - navigating the app itself alone is a headache and we can’t seem to even see the textures in there in some proper view.

pardon the random intrusion (space bruce led me here), but do you know anything of or use 3ds max?
