Keeping textures on a blender file when exporting to Unity - unity3d

I have a Blender model and it has a lot of objects with a lot of different textures so assigning all the textures in Unity would be a long process, (and I'm not even sure how to assign textures in Unity). All my textures are gone when I put the model in Unity. Is there any way to keep the textures when you put the model into Unity?

Textures on material import into Unity3D as empty materials

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.

Why does material textures get applied on native Unity game objects, but not my imported Blender FBX?

I have created a basic standard Unity cube, but also imported a Blender FBX.
I drag and drop a material with a texture, on both the cube and the Blender model.
As you can see, the cube gets the texture, but the Blender model just becomes red, with no texture.
Why doesn't the Blender model adopt the texture? What have I missed?
Ive checked the "Material" settings on both objects, and it seems the same.
Seems like its a fundamental setting I have missed, so only colors and not textures are applied.
The wall is a Blender model, right? You need to unwrap the UV of that model in Blender so Unity knows how to map the texture to the model. There are plenty of tutorials on that topic on Youtube, like https://youtu.be/V6OXSR5Ynyc.

How to export fbx with textures from Unity?

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.

How to transfer materials with a scene created in Blender to unity

I have created a scene in Blender with multiple objects, and each object has a material/texture. When I save the scene in my assets of my Unity project, I am able to use the scene, but all of the objects are white and have lost the materials I created and added to them in Blender. Is there a way to save my scene in Blender so that the materials will also be saved to the objects for when I use the scene in Unity? Or do I need to save all the materials from Blender separately into a file and also put that in my assets folder?
As Hellium said, if your textures are in separate archives (.png) you can create materials in unity and add those png textures as albedo

Texture from Blender doesn't appear in Unity 3D

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.
