LuxCoreRender Forums

If I import FBX model I seem to loose the textures when Luxcore is enabled and it renders grey there's no texture associated if I enable nodes, but in the preview I see the texture applied
Am I missing something? I'm not a Blender user
Its the official version from the main site, and Blender 2.79b, Windows 10

I assume Blender import process define the texture only for Blender internal and Cycles. BlendLuxCore could probably be extended to use the texture with the default clay material

I'm been trying some things;
Cycles will display the same behavour IF a different render engine is enabled ie Blender's default, if Cycles is enabled it'll render a FBX fine
So I guess its Blender thing really, it would be nice if the textures were applied if Luxcore was enabled on import to match Cycles behaviour?
I'm a Sketchup user who imports to Blender for uv unwrapping etc and final renders

You will have to set up the material (+ textures) yourself.
Or:
- someone writes a custom FBX importer that creates LuxCore materials (could extend the existing Blender addon, it's all Python AFAIK)
- someone writes a Cycles -> LuxCore material converter

Its not a problem, I just wanted to be sure it wasn't me doing something wrong
Sketchup to Blender I usually use placeholder textures just so the model has uv's and get replaced anyway
