so I spend hours googling and "trial and error"ing, but I still could not figure this out.
I have (half) a chessboard modeled in Blender. I bake all my materials to a single png with UV mapping. It looks like this:
I export the model as an .fbx and the baked texture as a .png. Both are imported to unity.
My goal is to have a single texture/material for the model.
The problem is, that unity still recognizes all squares etc. as separate objects with their own standard UV. When I map the combined texture to the model it is all messed up.
I can see why this happens, but not how to change the mapping so it picks out the right pixels of the texture. Is there something I can do to fix this?
Here is a picture of the model in unity.
Thanks in advance.
I finally found a work around which works perfect. You can merge objects in Blender. The steps I took:
merge all squares and other objects into one. I used this site as a tutorial
create a new uv map for this combined object
bake the textures to the new uv map
export model as .fbx
export texture as .png
import all to unity
create material from texture
apply material to model
Works perfectly fine for me :D

When I import my Model from Blender to Unity the model appears discolored. For example the torso of the character model is red in Blender in Unity however it appears to be orange.
I tried importing the Model with and without the texture packed into the FBX file, importing the texture file seperatly. However nothing seemed to work.
I found a solution. By scaling the texture up by 8 times (8x8 --> 64x64 px) and not using infinitly small UV points it works.
I downloaded the 3d character model. But, the model is not applied textures. Is there a way to apply textures to models in Unity?
Or do I have to create a material myself and attach a texture to it?
I tried this method, but it was difficult when there were multiple textures. Any help would be appreciated.
When you import a 3D model into Unity, it will automatically create a material for the model and apply the textures to it.
If you are having trouble with the textures not being applied to the model, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
First make sure that the textures are in the same folder as the 3D model. Unity will automatically look for textures in the same folder as the model, so if the textures are in a different one, they will not be applied.
Also check the texture import settings. When you import a texture into Unity, it will automatically assign certain import settings to the texture. These settings can affect how the texture is applied to the model, so it is important to make sure they are set correctly. To do this, select the texture in the Assets window and then go to the Inspector window. In the Inspector window, you will see the texture import settings, which you can adjust as needed.
Yes, most definitely can you apply textures to models in Unity.
As you have guessed correctly, textures are applied via a Material. If you import a model, by default there will be a standard Material assigned to it. However, you can also create one yourself and assign it to the Material list of the MeshRenderer component.
Depending on the shader you choose for your Material, there will be different shader properties, including the ones for textures. Usually, there is a Albedo property which can be used to set a texture. In the editor, you can simply drag and drop your texture on to it. If you want to apply a texture at runtime, you can set the texture with yourMaterial.SetTexture(shaderTexturePropertyName e.g. _MainTex).
does the model come with the textures? If you are trying to use your own textures, it might now work because it's not properly "UV Mapped". Or it might work but it will look messy.
If the textures came with the model, then you can just drag and drop the textures into a new material then assign it to the proper mesh.
I can help you better if you can elaborate more on how you are importing your models.
You can apply mew material with variable color,
if the downloaded model is already mapped you can make your own texture map with any image editing software, though it is hard to tell whats going where, you can start with using a checkerboard to test it out.
if its not uv mapped, you need softwares that can do it, unity does not have the ability to create uvmap. 3d software like maya,blender,c4d,3dmax has the ability to create uv map, there are also specific softwares that are just for uv ,here or texturing like substance painter
i imported my blender backrooms model to unity, and i got a wierd mess, this is the model in unity , when its in blender it looks exactly as intended, and even when i render a image of the model in blender all the textures look like they should,this is the model in blender, not a rendered image, ive browsed countless "solutions" and i cant find one that applies to mine, i have tried changing unity import settings, extracting both materials and images, and so on, nothing makes the materials look proper, my guess is that its not accounting for UV mapping junk so its stretching the image so far that it becomes blurred beyond recognitiion, if anybody can help me out it would be much appreciated, also just a side note but i dont think the displacement maps work in unity like they do in blender
edit: the model has multiple objects, the floor ceiling and walls are all 3 seperate objects
edit again: here is the node layout for the floor, every other node layout for the walls and ceiling is just the floors layout but without a displacement map on it
It's been a minute since I've used Unity. But without looking at the blender file, I would suspect that it could maybe be that there's two UVs on your model, and Unity is using the wrong one. I believe Unity uses the first UV Map for texture info, while the others are used for lightmap info. If that's the case, just delete the wrong one in your model. Hopefully that helps!
Edit (more info): I created a basic model with walls, ceiling, and floor. The walls, and ceiling only have a UV Map called UVMap. However, the floor has two UV Maps: UVMap and UVMap.001. Like so:
Now, if I click on that little camera icon next to the UVMap/UVMap.001 you will possibly see the overall size of the bricks change. If so, delete the wrongly scaled UV Map so you only have one UV Map in that window. After that, I would just ensure all your UV Maps are called the same on your other meshes, which is typically UVMap as default. You will also want to be sure all of your images are being mapped by UV, not Object or Generated as Unity cannot use that information. From there you should be good to go!
i'm currently doing a project as a hobby using Blender3D and Unity3D. I build an object in Blender that had 2 materials and textures with a Neon effect (Specifically with Emission Shader) but as soon as i import that object in Unity, i lose completely the textures and the object turns out blank. This did not happen with simple textures in Principled BSDF shading in Blender. How come are the Emission textures not importing and how can i solve this? Thanks.
It's a very common situation of mis-matching the meta data, when you import fbx from other software. It's not a blender specific issue, it happens on Maya and Cinema4D sometimes.
And the shaders won't be exactly same between softwares, and we should work on a very clean way. (please don't be lazy for below workflows, if you want to have a proper solution)
The best workflow I worked on 3D and unity for the import part:
export fbx without embedding texture
import to unity, and extract all materials to a new folder "Materials"
copy all used texture to unity, with a new folder "Textures"
remapping all textures, diffuse, normals, emission..etc to the materials manually.
I've searched endlessly for an answer to this question. However, I have created a model in Blender and export it as a .FBX directly into Unity. But the textures I have applied in Blender do not render in Unity (Even in the preview screen). I have UV Unwrapped the model, and created a custom texture pattern to suit. I've inserted the textures into Unity, however this just loads them how Unity feels, not how I'd like it to look.
I've attempted to add it as a .blend file, but Blender crashes, and it fails to convert to an .fbx file in Unity. The model is of a wall, with 3 doorways, and 3 doors. The wall has its own texture, and the doors all have the same texture. (I'd upload images but haven't earnt enough rep).
Is there a simple solution? Or am I over looking the whole process and missing something important out?
after you UV unwrapped your model you save the uv in a file in blender you should apply that file as a texture to your model in unity and you will be done,tell me if you have already done that. Here are useful tutorials.
I had better luck exporting it as a wavefront object. Under transform select Path Mode: Copy and you should get your materials.
