Blender FBX Export Textures Missing

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Embed the textures

   Copy steps
   1. Open File > Export > FBX.
   2. Set Path Mode to Copy and click the Embed Textures icon.
   3. Export and test in the target app.
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Use Principled BSDF

   Copy steps
   1. The exporters read Principled BSDF inputs; custom node groups do not export.
   2. Bake complex materials to image textures first.
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Try glTF instead

   1. File > Export > glTF 2.0 handles PBR materials more reliably for web and engines.
   Did this fix it? Yes No
