[Apparently not supported] Import of FBX with embedded textures gives material errors

[Roland]

Importing a fbx with embedded textures ends up in a material with empty texture slots. This because when the fbx is unpacked the textures are always placed in a folder called <modelname>.fbm. The material produced assumes that the textures should be in same folder as the fbx-file. Wouldn't this be easy solved by adding a code snipped that looks for the textures in that folder if they cant be found in the fbx folder.

 

Here is some images showing this

 

Here is the model in a modeling program

 

Exported as FBX with embedded textures

Drag and drop for import

 

We can see that the material tiles03.mat

comes up black (as also the model of course)

 

Checking the material shows that no textures

have been added

 

The textures cant be found by the importer as they

exist in box/box.fbm. Here I selected them by hand

 

Here is the importers material file tiles03.mat which

is faulty. Texture path is wrong and also the shader

 

Here I have corrected this to be as the importer should work

 

And here is the result after the correction

Okay. Thanks. Did not notice that one.

However ... really strange to not support that.

 

I mean... come on. How hard can it be to

 

load model.fbx

find texture in ./

if texture not found

find texture in ./model.fbm

end

process fbx & textures

 

Well well... At least I know then.
