Create FBX file with colours & textures

General Tutorial & Course Discussions

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help. I’m really new to UE5 and I’m wondering if it is possible to create an FBX or OBJ file complete with textures and colours. When I export my architectural model it generates a basic white/grey FBX/OBJ file. Any help would be really appreciated…

Many thanks in advance…

The colours and textures disappear. Is there a workflow to overcome this?

Many thanks in advance…
