Hello,

Search the internet for free CAD models to download, you will find plenty of sites.
Make sure to download only OBJ, DXF, STL, 3DS, Collada or URDF files. Others are not supported. Preferred format is OBJ. In next release (3.0.5, to be released within 1-2 weeks), the OBJ format will support direct import of textures and many texture formats too (JPG, TGA, BMP, TIFF, PNG, etc.)

Cheers

ok, but when I import the model (DXF or OBJ) it imports without any texture and I don't know how to import the whole model...

Hello,

with V-REP version 3.0.4, textures can only be imported by:
  • Importing via the OBJ format. Textures are not imported, but texture coordinates are imported
  • via the texture dialog, you can then apply the texture
In next release (V-REP version 3.0.5) to be out within 1 week, it will be much simpler: just select the OBJ file to import (textures are currently only supported with the OBJ file format).

Cheers
