How can I texture my animated model?

Unreal Cat

I have looked and looked on YouTube, Google, and Reddit, and I cannot find a way to add the textures I’ve painted so far onto my animation. Please help!

Hey @kariina! Welcome to the forums!

You are going to need to create a material for your character. Check out the official documentation here:

Materials

I hope the above is the solution you need!

OH good! thank you! I was beginning to worry it wasn’t possible.

Hey @kariina,

Checking in. Were you able to get a material on to your model?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. So, the issue I am running into is that my mesh is several pieces, each with different textures. I am having trouble importing these into Unreal while preserving their textures from Blender. I feel like I have tried and searched everything with no luck. Do you have any insight on what I need to do differently?

I got it figured out! It’s a single button click in Blender.

Hey @kariina,

That’s great! Were you ultimately able to get your materials on to your character and fully working while animated using the above?

I was indeed!
