Losing textures while exporting inside ROBLOX Studio

It finally works again! im so happy

The issue with the characters losing textures is fixed 100%, however thereā€™s another issue thatā€™s presenting itself with the .obj exporter.

As @Astrollect experienced, any part with a Roblox texture is exported seemingly without color and instead now with the Roblox materialā€™s diffuse texture, though this isnā€™t completely the case.

To fix this in Blender specifically, disconnect the image texture input attached to the Principled BSDF shader. Unlike the character issue from before, it retains color, so this can be dealt with as usual. (Since Roblox textures didnā€™t export previously, most people would then use a node by Maplestick to re-texture models for rendering within Blender)

Colored boat below has had said texture node disconnected - right model is straight out of Studio and now a mix of Roblox textures and a new texture Iā€™ve inserted on the right. Seems to be different types of studs.

The issue also comes up when anything with a decal texture is exported. It retains color data, however is now exported without the appropriate decals but instead the stud texture.

Of course itā€™s not impossible to manually go in and find decal textures to fix for small models like this and texture them oneself, but when artists need to work in external software with large scenes, this is a massive pain and adds unnecessary amounts of time to fixing an issue that hasnā€™t occurred up until now.

Iā€™m much more experienced in Blender than I am in Studio, but Iā€™m hoping this helps and again, is fixed soon.

I can repro this, hereā€™s an example I am facing.

It would be extremely helpful if a bug report was created on this.

Hi there Synthrophy, try removing the texture from the model and it will show its true color.

Still patiently waiting for proper FBX exporting instead of outdated obj exporting technology lol
