Are textures included in obj format?

Hi

I have resently moved away from o2 and started modelling all my new projects in Maya 4. When its modelled i export (using OBJ format, import to Anim8tor and enable KS Data, export to 3ds) and import it in o2.

I have now learned to get models from o2 and to maya, and back again with no problems..almost:

I also want to do texturing in Maya before exporting, so that the model only needs LOD setup. I hate texturing in o2. Its so much easier in Maya. Problem is, i dont know how to get the textures safely trough the process.

So..

When i export a textured model, i get a single OBJ file of the model. Where are the textures then? are they within the OBJ file??

No but you do need to make a UV map for the model

Yeah, I do it the same way. I know Anim8tor is a free tool, I'd recommend to use a differet tool to convert your models to 3DS though. I had trouble with cilyndrical texture projections and Anim8tor sometimes.
