Import meshes into studio with colors?

[d1tr]

I was appalled this isn’t a feature yet. Why do all meshes get imported as plain gray? And how would I import a 3d object into studio while preserving the color?

I have .fbx and .obj .mtl of the object
i can use 3ds max or blender

ive been searching for ways to do this for hours, including the devforum, but could not find anything that worked

Please search the forum first, there’s a similar topic:

How do I export a coloured model from blender?

OK so I’m not sure what category to put this under but im assuming its building so sorry if thats wrong. I wanted to see if I could make something in blender and after watching a youtube tutorial I made this [image] I then tried to export it as an obj and insert as a mesh into roblox studio but the colours were missing [image] It’s my first time using blender to make a model and I dont know what I’m doing (I can colour it in roblox studio but I can only colour the whole thing one colour) […

Now the problem is why those solution(s) did not solve your case of importing. Did you try using a texture instead?

Apply texture first and then paint. Export the object along with the texture and it should do the trick.

I’m not an expert on this field, but as far as I know, you need to bake the textures before exporting.
Hopefully this helps.

OP, this has been covered many times on the dev forums, I’m not sure what key words you used in your search but “texture import” gave me plenty of results. Here are two tried and true methods:

How do I import textured models from blender?

I’ve explained on the forums before that .fbx and .obj file types do not export with texture data compatible with Roblox (with exception of .fbx and vertex painting, also the .mtl or Material file type isn’t supported by Roblox). If you want to upload a texture for a Meshpart, you must first upload it as a Decal, and apply the TextureId from the Decal to the MeshPart. It’s not intuitive, I know Edit as of Feb 9, 2023 - Roblox now supports uploading textures with Meshparts a…

Texture Import Issue - .fbx from Blender to Roblox

I’m a bit late on the reply but i would still like to show you how to do it. For this guide i’ve designed a replica model and will go through the steps on how to import it into Studio with texture. [02] The store page mentions that all house models are textured with a 128x128 color scheme. Usually this is a series of flat colored pixels. I myself will be using a baked texture, but this should not affect the following steps. [01] Step 1: Ensure that your engine is set to Blender Render (Cyc…

Additionally,

@Legoracer

you need to bake the textures before exporting.

Baking a texture is a method for reducing render times, not “this texture will now upload with my mesh.” Let’s try to keep the terminology consistent with the platforms please

Select the model and press Tab on your keyboard, then press P and then click separate by texture. Now press Tab to exit edit mode, Now click one part of the tree, i.e green. Now export as you normally would but go to the lower left corner and click export selected only. Do this for both parts of the tree. When importing to studio it will ask for location data, press yes. Then color the mesh accordingly. If this doesn’t work for you send me the .blend and I can export it for you. (Copy/Pasted from a previous post I made about this)

What you’re recommending isn’t a texture, it’s just separating the mesh by material group. Textures are more than just the material, and this solution doesn’t work if the mesh has to be a single object.
