OBJ group name

[panangam]

The software I'm using exports separate meshes in obj file as groups ('g' prefix lines). Trimesh seems to be able to parse that, but I need to be able to access the group names (following the 'g'). Does Trimesh support this? For reference, here's what the file looks like

g {group name}
v 1 2 3
...
usemtl {material}
f 1 2 3
...
g {group name 2}
...
...

I ran into this issue as well. trimesh.load can indeed read individual objects into a scene but as far as I can tell, the names of the objects are lost. However the objects can be accessed via the geometry attribute of the scene. I think preserving names would be a very useful feature to have.

@mikedh Can I ask for your thought? What might be a good way to solve this? I can try to do the work myself.
