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 can I import the full location from the game (made on Unity) into Blender? The screenshot shows a set of folders that were in the location file in the game itself.
Enter image description here
I can easily assemble a location from Mesh files, but at the texturing stage I don't know what to do. Manually is too much work. How do I import the entire location from these folders so that the textures are also applied?
You can import your unity file to blender only if you have unity file in FBX form , save unity or export unity file in FBX file and then go in blender , You will get an option to "IMPORT IN FBX FORMAT" , click and import the unity file in that.
Whether textures are auto-applied has to do with whether whoever made the models embedded the textures into the models when exporting them. For this, whoever made the model needs to export the model in FBX format and make sure in export settings that the textures are embedded inside the FBX file.
Also, why are you working with Unity at the texturing stage? Lookdev should be done in a 3d program (substance painter etc). Use neutral lighting for best results (white skydome light).
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 am able to get this particular textured model from a 360 camera in blender. Blender Image
However, how do i get this .obj model into unity? I am only able to get the shaded version of it, not the textured version. Unity Image
When you export the .obj you should have a .mtl which contains the material data and texture mapping. Make sure when importing into unity (and exporting from blender) the file is generated and read.
Check your blender material properties and the individual texture properties. you should try to combine all materials into a single material so that its easier to reconfigure the textures in unity.
Once imported into unity, check the material settings and check if you need to reference the texture files again, most often when importing exporting .obj, the texture path gets lost so you must re-reference it in the target software. Sometimes it is also necessary to re-assign the materials themselves.
Also check your rendering options in unity, you may just be seeing it untextured in the unity viewport. (on the top left corner it says shaded, try changing it to textured or some other option)
You may as well try to use other mutually supported file types, like .3DS which do not use a separate material file, or check for blender add-ons that can export with all necessary settings for Unity.
Finally, your model is way too complex, it is raw data from a 3D scanner or ripper, I suggest you remake it so that you have manual control over each face and texture. (or at least for practice of doing the export-import operation).
More details like pictures of your material settings of both blender and unity would help in assisting you further.
I started to work with 123D Catch and Blender a while ago. I made some photos and created 3D object in 123D Catch. Next step is to put it into Unity.
But before it I need to correct some details (some edges have inappropriate shape, colour is missed in some places etc).
I tried to import this 3D object into blender but I couldn't upload texture automatically (I watched some tutorials about mapping, but exaples are easy and my object has complicated construction).
Can anyone reccomend me a software where I can correct basic stuff like egdes, shape or colour easly?
Thank you a lot.
When downloading the models the textures are included as 1 or more
image files.
you can edit them in any image manipulation software (e.g. Gimp or Photoshop)
When opening the model in blender
make shure that you use file>import>obj
and turn on textured mode :
Mapping is not neccesary as the UVs are contained in the model alredy.
After editing the shape you can
export the model via file>export>obj or just drag the .blend file into your assets and let Unity convert it automtically.
Before you use your model in unity you should consider reducing its geometry/detail as the generated models can be very high poly.
For that purpose, I can recommend "Meshlab"

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.
