When I load a simple obj model who has only one texture in paraview, it appears without any textures at the beginning. Then, I set properties-\>lighting-\>texture coordinates, texture, normal texture, cost normal texture, it can appear with its original texture. But when I try to load a complex obj model who has multiple textures, I operate in the above ways and it does not work. I can only set texture for only a part of this model, but other parts of this model remain default texture.  
Can anybody tell me how to display a complex obj model with multiple textures in paraview?

HenryYang,  
You actually just can’t setup more that one texture on a single ParaView mesh/polydata. So you might want to split your model in a set of OBJ files with a third party tools.
