[HELP NEEDED] How to export with appearance and color intact?

carlosacostaZQZK4 — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 16:10:32 GMT

Hello, I have this issue that no matter which format I use (I prefer OBJ though) my 3D model always comes out as a white or grey block and does not retain the textures and appearance I apply to it.

I have attached an example of my problem. On the left is the model and on the right the export I get no matter which format I choose.

Thanks.

Hi @carlosacostaZQZK4.

I've had some success exporting as STP and FBX, not OBJ.

Some references:

Exporting an OBJ file with an MTL file from Fusion 360

Thank you. The .fbx file worked in the sense that it retained color, but I lost the transparencies and material textures/glow with it. The .stl file did not work at all, it produces a whitish opaque outline of my model :(.

I am having a relating issue, on occasion when I finish all the Appearance changes in fusion, to then export as .STEP for the render team, the exported file will be missing appearance changes that were made prior to export. Not sure if there is a work around for this.

Thanks!
