Error uploading models

Summary

I’m having trouble uploading my 3D models on Fab.

I’m using blender and I tried uploading the .blend file and the wavefront .obj
(I always used Blockbench, I’m new in Blender)
From the .blend file , all the textures were missing and from the .obj file it showed me just a texture less cube.
I tried exporting in .fbx format , but I always got an error in blender and It didn’t let export

What I’m I doing wrong?

Additional Notes

I googled the errors, I read forums etc, but I didn’t find any solutions

Hello,

When you upload these formats to the listing (not the Media gallery), are the files processed successfully and the Technical Details calculated automatically?

Regarding the 3D Media uploads - for the Blender version, can you make sure the textures are embedded in the .blend (see screenshot), or upload the .blend AND separate texture images all together? Similarly, for the OBJ version, you’ll need to upload the .obj AND .mtl, AND any texture image files all together.

You could also try exporting from Blender to glTF (+ textures) or GLB (textures are embedded) and upload that to the gallery.
