How to Export a 3D Model with Texture in Blender

Are you looking to learn how to export a 3D model with a texture in Blender? In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process step by step. By following these instructions, you will be able to export your 3D models seamlessly with their textures embedded. Let's dive in!

Creating and Applying a Texture in Blender

  1. Delete the Default Cube: Start by selecting the default Cube in Blender and deleting it to work with a clean slate.

  2. Create a Material: Generate a new material by clicking on shading and selecting "New Material."

  3. Add an Image Texture: Shift + A to search for and add an image texture to the material.

  4. Select a Texture: Open a new texture file by importing the desired image to be used as a texture.

  5. Apply the Texture: Once the texture is added, apply it to the model to see it mapped correctly.

Exporting the Model with Texture

  1. File Export: Navigate to the 'File' menu and choose 'Export' followed by 'FBX' to initiate the export process.

  2. Adjust Settings: In the export settings, change the 'Path Mode' to 'Copy' to ensure all texture files are included.

  3. Embed Textures: Enable the 'Embedded Textures' option to ensure the textures are packed within the exported file.

  4. Select and Export: Choose a destination folder for your file, name it appropriately, and ensure the 'Selected Objects' option is enabled before exporting.

Viewing the Exported Model

  1. Navigate to File: Locate the exported FBX file in your chosen destination folder using Windows Explorer.

  2. Open the File: Double click on the file to open it and view your 3D model with the embedded texture successfully applied.

By following these straightforward steps, you can export your 3D models from Blender with textures seamlessly integrated. Experiment with different textures to enhance the visual appeal of your models and bring your creations to life!

Have fun exporting your textured 3D models!
