Are you looking to streamline your 3D models by removing the MTL file from your OBJ file? Here's a quick and easy way to do it.

First, let's clarify what MTL and OBJ files are. MTL files are material files that contain information about the surface properties of 3D models, while OBJ files are 3D model files that contain the geometry and texture information. When you use an OBJ file with an accompanying MTL file, the MTL file contains the material information that the OBJ file references.

To remove the MTL file from the OBJ file, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the OBJ file in a text editor such as Notepad or Sublime Text.

2. Search for the 'mtllib' line in the OBJ file. This line specifies the name of the MTL file that the OBJ file references.

3. Delete the 'mtllib' line and the line that follows, which specifies the MTL file name.

4. Save the OBJ file.

By removing the 'mtllib' line and the MTL file reference from the OBJ file, you effectively detach the material information from the 3D model. This can be useful if you want to simplify your 3D model by using default materials, or if you have a separate method for applying materials in your rendering software.

It's important to note that by removing the MTL file from the OBJ file, you will lose the material information for your 3D model. If you need to retain the material information, consider using a different approach such as merging the material information into the OBJ file or keeping the MTL file with the OBJ file.

In conclusion, removing the MTL file from the OBJ file is a simple process that can help streamline your 3D models. Just open the OBJ file in a text editor, delete the 'mtllib' line and the MTL file reference, and save the file. Keep in mind the implications of removing the material information, and consider alternative approaches if necessary.
