Obj comes without textures. 

Did you make sure to make your model at 0,0,0 and have part of the model touching that, its easy to lose inside XPression.

Its always worth putting a camera and extending far plane and having a look around for the model. 

If you're sure its in view and you cannot see it you could also try

I would also try applying a material made inside XPression rather than imported.

Thank you Simon!

obj file understood.
Then does the fbx file bring material information?
If so, would there be any settings I need to import as an fbx file?

I saw you had the faces set to Quads. Try triangles.

I've made some simple geometric shapes by hand in a text editor and this is what I can tell you that is needed, barebones.

1. Triangle faces
2. Counter-clockwise faces
3. Texture coordinates (unpredictable results without them)
4. Last line of file needs to be a blank line

Now it's possible that quads will work and figured out the last blank line the same time I changed to triangles. But give it a shot. It wouldn't hurt.

Open the file in a text editor and make sure there is a blank line at the end.

Note: I was making 2D objects for simple image layering and masking. If you are doing full 3D objects with shading you probably need the normals, but you can try without them.

As Simon said, textures are not supported on import, just the coordinates. You will spend some time applying textures.

Also, sometimes objects come in really small. In .obj space to XPression, correct me if I'm wrong, 1 unit is one pixel. So a 10 unit wide, 10 unit high object is 10 pixels by 10 pixels.

The obj file only brings the coordinate value.
Then, do you bring the fbx file including material information?
If I bring it, is there anything to set when exporting?
When I import the fbx file from xpression, I can't see anything and I can't see the material information just like when I did obj.
