Importing obj and obj.mtl files in Maya

I have a mesh model in a .ply file, I have converted it to an obj and obj.mtl (material) file using an online converter (http://www.greentoken.de/onlineconv/). When I load the obj file into maya I see none of the texture being rendered. I've done some googling and this seems like a common problem, but am yet to find a solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Check the texture file paths in your mtl file path. If they have path separators, make sure they are forward slashes not back slashes. For some reason if they are back slashes, the parent directory name will be inserted over the filename and a space when Maya parses them into the File node 'Image Name' field.

e.g. This filepath in the mtl:

map_Ka textures\vase_round.tga

will become this in the Maya File node:

textures nd.tga
