Question Regarding Exporting PBR Textures From Blender To Roblox Studio

[coolguyweir]

Hello, everyone. I have a quick question about blender and roblox studio textures.
If I applied all types of maps in blender, would there be a way to export the texture to roblox studio while also maintaining PBR textures?

Thanks!

Yes but you have to bake and then export the maps separate, like one map for diffuse, one map for normal, one for spec, etc.

You can search how to do this on Blender-specific support pages, wikis, or forums.

Thanks for the reply! I’ll take that into account.
However, one more add on question: If I was to make trees and to add pbr textures to the leaves, what process would I use?

Foliage sheets are usually the best bet for full PBR and performance optimization. There’s plenty of resources online about them

I can’t seem to find any resources on them, my bad… but can you please link one or two sources? thanks!

Here’s a quick breakdown of how to create realistic game ready trees in Blender:

How do you import a realistic tree's texture from Blender 2.8 to Studio?

I used separate planes for the branches so I can have control over the shape of the tree. Though using hair particles works fine, I do not recommend sticking to that method since the control over the shape is very limited. Additionally, it promotes laziness which equates to low quality work. The best way of building a realistic game-ready tree is to build from top to down: starting from the leaves down to the trunk. Sculpt the leaves or alternatively get a leaf texture reference. Add the leaves…
