Keep models color after turning into mesh

[Skoliage]

i built a model in roblox studio and want to turn it into a mesh instead of a union, but when i turn it into a mesh and load it back into studio,it does not have color anymore, is there a way i can do this?

Do you want it one colour, or different colours?
If it’s a MeshPart and you want to ‘paint’ it you need to look up how to ‘bake’ the texture. Posts like How to import models from blender with textures without baking? should help.
You probably should try the Search tool up top!

Texture it and export as FBX file(Fbx files keep textures)

[Sir_Highness]

OP didn’t mention blender, I think they may be doing this with only studio by exporting to obj then importing that to a meshpart. If you do that method, you can only select a single material and a single color for the resulting mesh.

Is there a way to export a multi-color union?

Hi, I have a multi-colored union, and I am looking for a way to preserve its multiple colors after exporting. I am able to export the union, and then use the .obj as a meshpart, but I can not find a way to keep the color of part, only the shape. Basically, I need to be able to change the appearance of one object to another without replacing the object itself. Here is an image of the union I am working with. [image] I have actually been attempting to find a solution to this issue for a while…

When you export a model, part or union with only BrickColor as your texture/color, the obj file does not preserve this. However, if you have an image file as texture, you will notice that there is a png image along with the obj and mtl file when you export (and so the texture will be preserved when you import the obj file back to studio). Unfortunately, you’ll need to bother with a third party software like blender to texture this union with an image, and if you want to change the appearance, you’d have to change the TextureID. I don’t really know what you are using this for but it seems like it would be much more convenient if you keep them as separate parts and just change the BrickColor.

I don’t think there is a way to get the texture data from a part/union’s material and color.
