I was able to import the images as textured 3D mesh through more of the pieces that come with the Matterpack bundle. If you look in that same zip file the .xyz lived in you’ll find an .obj, a .mtl and a bunch of jpegs. I would recommend creating a separate folder in your content browser and dragging in first the jpegs - they will come through as textures. Then bring over the .mtl and .obj. If you do this in reverse order the .obj will come in just white and will lose all texture mapping to materials.
Then you drag your .obj into the level and place manually to align with your project. I was happy with how simple this workflow was.
