How to Export a 3D Model from Blender With Textures

If you are a 3D designer working with Blender, you may often need to export your models with textures for further use in various platforms. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to successfully export a model from Blender while preserving its textures.

Exporting a Textured Model from Blender

  1. Prepare Your Model: Ensure you have your model ready in Blender with all the textures applied correctly.

  2. Navigate to Export: In Blender, locate the File menu and select Export. Choose the FBX format for exporting your model.

  3. Adjust Settings:

    • In the export window, locate the Path Mode and change it from Auto to Copy.
    • Check the option to Embed Textures. This ensures that all the textures used in your model are embedded within the FBX file.
  4. Export the Model: Once you have configured the settings, click on Export FBX to save your model along with its textures.

Importing the Model into Mixamo

Now that you have successfully exported your textured model from Blender, you can proceed to import it into Mixamo for further animation and processing.

  1. Access Mixamo: Go to the Mixamo website and log in to your account.

  2. Import Your Model:

    • Locate the option to upload your model and select the FBX file you exported from Blender.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the import process.
  3. Finalizing the Import: Once the import is complete, you can now access various features in Mixamo to animate and enhance your 3D model.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly export a 3D model from Blender while retaining all the textures, making it ready for further use in platforms like Mixamo. Enhance your design workflow by mastering the art of exporting textured models effectively.

Summary

In this tutorial, we explored the process of exporting a 3D model from Blender with its textures intact. By adjusting the export settings and choosing the right options, you can ensure that your textures are embedded within the FBX file, ready to be imported into other applications like Mixamo. Streamline your 3D design workflow with these essential tips!
