The .mtl file is a separate material file, as (I think) the .obj doesn't contain material data. Unless you're using special settings for materials, it can probably be ignored. I don't know if the game engine responds to material files or not, or if everything's just using a default.

So the whole customization thing is great, but we all know the best reason to convert our 2D sprites into 3D... Sitting Down!

So, will it be possible?  One day, will I walk into NCR to see three guys sitting around an old table in the bazaar, or will they always be standing there, just watching me?

I would love to be able to sit in a chair around the bar at a base.

Possible, with new scenery stuff. But doing this in NCR is like sitting down in Baghdad and waiting for a suicide bomber.

Haha, well sure.  That leads me to another question.  Will 3D ever lead to dynamic bases?  I know people have been wanting to "upgrade" storage and things at bases.

No, 3d has nothing to do with "dynamit bases."

stupid question, but whether the inventory icon will be 3D?

Just a word on the muzzle flash.

This is what's called in the industry a billboard effect. One quad always facing the camera, but since the camera is always fixed in one position there is no point in that. It's just a "spirit".  
I don't see any need for true particle effects (that is with a physical simulation, collisions, affected by wind etc) just some pre-baked images.

I was thinking about that. It's really a good solution. There is no need for particle effect, but character flash-lighting is still needed.

Can't that be made with actual dynamic lights?
