After Effects Beta 3D models can't see textures

I've got the 3d model from adobe stock and I was able to import it into after effects and move it around. However I can't see any of the textures on the model. It was imported into after effects along with the model and I can open each one to see that they correct as an image. How do I get the textures to appear on the model itself?

Any update on this? Is there a way to update/relink the textures to the model? I have come across quite a few models where the textures/material don't apply correctly after importing. 
Link to neon sign where the textures import but do not apply:

Link to "transparent" dice - transparent texture does not get applied to the model:

Hi @Camera626 and @Jon.M. . Thanks for reporting this bug.

 

Could you please provide us with the link to any models on Adobe Stock that don't work as you expect? If the model doesn't come from Adobe Stock, if you're willing and able to provide it to us, please send it to me via a DM.

 

We will investigate to see if there's a problem with how After Effects decodes the model file, or if there might be an issue with the textures provided. Please note that PNG and JPEG files are the preferred formats for texture files. Other formats like TIFF may not work.

There is not. Yet. We're working on how materials and textures are used by 3D objects in After Effects. Please stay tuned.

Having the same issue, some models import with the textures if I put them in the same folder as the OBJ. Most do not. There does not seem to be a way to link the textures to the model from AE.
