Hi Stan,

I think there may be some export setting not correct.
If you are using the inbuilt 3ds max .obj exporter, make sure "use material" and "create mat-library" are on (http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/ ... d30e521842)

Then make sure if you move the .obj, that you also move the .mtl file with the same name.

However, your best option is to use the unofficial 3ds max export script: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=7572

Thanks
Chris.
