Hello Everyone  
I am trying to upload texture with obj file but it showing this error

THREE.Object3D.add: object not an instance of THREE.Object3D.

here is my code

```auto
	  var mtlLoader = new THREE.MTLLoader();
mtlLoader.setPath('new/obj/');
mtlLoader.load('coat_.mtl', function(materials) {
  materials.preload();
  var objLoader = new THREE.OBJLoader2();
  objLoader.setMaterials(materials);
  objLoader.setPath('new/obj/');
  objLoader.load('coat_.obj', function(object) {
    //object.position.y = -95;
    scene.add(object);
  });
});

```

Can you please use `THREE.OBJLoader` and not `THREE.OBJLoader2`? Otherwise you have to write your code like in this example:

[https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl\_loader\_obj2](https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_loader_obj2)

Notice that both loaders have a slightly different API.
