VTK import of OBJ files

VTK is ignoring the “o” specifier in Wavefront OBJ files.

Blender is one of the few programs that handles this correctly. To see the issue, create 2 cylinders in Blender and export as OBJ, then read into VTK. You only get one object, not two.

The named object capability is vital for many things. In cell biology we need the ability to distinguish organelles from the plasma membrane.

Is there a workaround for this, or could we get VTK to return an array of objects or something?
