I have a obj and it's associated mtl file (holds texturing info) and I want to convert the mtl file into a texture map. Any ideas as how to do it.

It's not possible to turn a MTL file into a texture map. You can do one of two things ... find out which bitmap files (BMP, JPG, or other format textures) the MTL files are looking for. Another thing you can do is open the OBJ file in a program like UV Mapper and create templates for it so that you can paint your own textures.

Continuing on what Deecey said, you can use Wordpad to read the mtl file. Should help in locating the textures.
I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

Use the ambient inputs on the one sided square (zero everything else), and the front camera.
