I might just be a huge idiot... but the textures do not export to the model when I import them into unity

Export textures is checked. I've even tried it with merge blocks turned off. I still get this:

Did you import the PNG textures that Asset Forge exports in the same folder as you select for the OBJ file itself? Make sure you also import the MTL file into Unity.

I'll try this out now. Thank you for the quick reply! You're the best. I'll post back with my results.
