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.

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
I have downloaded a Unity asset which included lots of 3d models with textures/materials etc.
I wanted to share one of those objects with an artist, so that they can create a new model on top of that model, so I exported the fbx from Unity using one of the Unity fbx exporter assets.
However, the model was exported without any textures and so it looked pretty much white as a whole. Therefore, the artist cannot really work on a model that includes textures and also send me back the finished work with those textures.
I am wondering, is there a way to actually export everything with the fbx
from Unity ? Thanks !
Assign your material in the source package, make sure there is a baked texture in the diffuse slot
Assign your other baked textures to the spec, normal and others
Check embed textures at export
Check 'import materials: by material name' is selected for your imported model (in the inspector)
Where possible use a portable file format like FBX and follow these guidelines.

I am somewhat beginner to Unity3d and an absolute beginner in Maya modelling.
I created a room model in Maya Autodesk 2017 student version referring one youtube tutorial.
And made an attempt to import .ma file in Unity3D.
But when I import it some materials are not visible in unity.
To be precise blinn is visible but material created by Lambert or by using images aren't.
It seems like unity can't recognise this material.
I tried to google it. But there they show something like converting to .fbx file or exporting materials. But I don't see .fbx option in save scene and Maya Autodesk isn't allowing me to export material as it is student version.
Maya is just allowing me to save scenes in .ma and .mb format.
Am I missing something while importing? and if not then is there any way I can use exact models that I created in Maya Autodesk in unity3D.
edit:
I am attaching sample images from unity3D and Maya Autodesk.
Image From Maya Autodesk:
Image from Unity3D:
Here it is clear that when the image of earth is used to create material, Unity3D is unable to render it.
Also, I noticed that in Maya Autodesk I have to turn texture button on to see the texture of earth.
Do unity have any such setting that prevents it from displaying texture from other software?
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.
I'm new to blender and trying to export 3d objects to unity 3d with textures.
Let's say we create a cube and added a texture (using UV mapping) and save
as a .blend file.then drag and drop into the unity3d but textures not showing in the object.
I tried exporting the object as .fbx but it's not working.
Should I import textures into the unity and add them into 3d objects manually?
Unity doesn't support Blender's packed images, though there is a feature request for this.
According to the docs all you have to do is save your .blend file in your assets folder. When you switch back to Unity the object will already be in your assets. Ensure that you are using a current version of blender about 2.60.
On the Unity Answers site I found that you need to add the textures through Unity. FBX import does not import the textures. Add the texture into Unity and assign it to the object.
