Thank you for the URL. The following ‘sort of’ works on my Mac. You should see a shuttle image rotating in the window. The .mtl file is missing from the original download. Attached you can also see the files that I used. The main file should have only one .obj extension, not two as was included in the download.

```auto
PShape rocket;

float ry;
void setup() {
  size(500, 500, P3D);
  rocket = loadShape("space-shuttle.obj");
}

void draw() {
  background(200);
  lights();
  translate(width/2, height/2, 300);
  rotateZ(PI);
  rotateY(ry);
  shape(rocket);
  ry += 0.02;
}

```

**Files in ‘data’ folder. add missing .mtl file (see below).**
