Imported FBX file missing texture

[daisy5663803]

Hi, I am new to rendering with FBX file and had got some problems with the missing texture.

I've downloaded some FBX file from Sketchfab. The file was given in 2 folders: Source (the modle which is .fbx), and the Texture file with all the textures.

I wanted to preserve the texture link. I set the project, copied the textures into the Sourceimage file. I imported the fbx file, and the texture is still no there.

Does fbx file in maya doesn't work this way? Is there a proper way to import fbx files while preserving the textures？

Just connect the textures by hand. 
the FBx should be already set up once you open but without knowing the file link is hard to say. 
you can resolve path issues with the file path editor or texture manager script.

that does not help for all cases, I have the same issue with another file and there are proxies that just wont reconnect

me either, import anything with fbx format and the texture doesn't showing up however when I import obj its work really fine

Same exact scenario with the FBX file from Sketchfab. I will add that the Attribute Editor contains numerous blank textures that apply to the model downloaded, and luckily in my case, they vaguely match the names of the textures in the separately provided file.

For example:

The Attribute Editor has a phong labeled, "panelFBXASC032scuff3"

While the texture file in a separate folder is labeled, "panel scuff.png"

They're similar enough that reattaching them manually wouldn't be too much work.

I've already reattached a few, and they definitely go into the correct slots.
