I want to import a mesh with PBR textures that I made in Blender. I’m rather noob on Blender and still wouldn’t consider myself adept at Studio so I’m pretty sure I’ve missed a step somewhere.
I have followed a couple of the tutorials here but either they explain how to export/import a simple mesh/texture combo or only explain the making of the mesh until the export/import part.
To answer your question, eevee is the default type of rendering method in blender. Personally I would use cycles because its better at rendering with realistic-like shadows and reflections on objects. But eevee can be used if you want to see your renders quick or don’t need the realistic shadowing it offers. Can you also show the UV and the texture your using to better understand your problem?
So I didn’t use uv unwrapping to colour it I added materials with( … uh… I don’t know what it is called but here is a screen shot of the uv and I’ve circled what I mean… ) and applied them to specific faces. You can see there isn’t a uv texture applied.
then I edited the materials within the shading app which is where you see the file/texture mapping in the screen shots above. I followed two different tutorials on youtube …
and
When I tried cycles, the textures, colours didn’t show properly.
I’ve tried using the uv unwrapping and applying textures that way but found that I couldn’t apply different colours/textures very easily. That is why I tried to do it this way.
As it is I have created separate meshes and am assembling / texturing in Studio for now as a work around but even still I find the surface appearance isn’t working for me and the textures are coming out very flat and bland. So I am just using texture decals instead of pbr textures until I learn what it is I am doing wrong.
For both materials, you’re setting it only for eevee which is the issue, set it to “both” or something similar to that:
Also, to get pbr, you’ll have to mess around with surface apperances. You may have to search up some tutorials on the devforums though which is the why the search button exists in the first place.
I had originally had it set to all instead of Eevee. Things only worked once I had set it to Eevee. Once I set it back to all, my cube materials become pink and I am left with a very shiny pink cube.
And yes, I have been known to use the search feature of devforums. I initially tried to follow a couple of the tutorials here first for applying textures but didn’t get as close to a finished product as I did with the above tutorials. I may have a record number of fails for trying to make a model at this point. It seems to me that all the tutorials are skipping some step that is probably intuitive to everyone but me.
