Question

Answer 1

You can add an environment map to the existing materials of your OBJ model using a pattern like this one:

    var loader = new THREE.OBJLoader();

    loader.load( 'myModel.obj', function ( object ) {

      object.traverse( function ( child ) {

          if ( child instanceof THREE.Mesh ) {

              child.material.envMap = myEnvironmentMap;
              // add any other properties you want here. check the docs.

          }

      } );

      scene.add( object );

    } );
