Can't add materials to model

(Cdeeks) #1

Hi, I have uploaded a model as obj and FBX and when I try to add my materials I don't get the option to select parts of model. the model is in 3 parts but I keep getting weird names.

Hi,

What software are you using? Can you send me a link to the model so I can take a closer look?

Thanks!

Hi James, i am using 3ds max and i have tried OBJ and fbx formats.

I don't know about the FBX, but this OBJ version is missing the "Caravan2.mtl" file. Without it, we cannot generate material definitions.

Have you tried the 3ds Max Exporter plugin? https://sketchfab.com/exporters/3dsmax

Thanks, the MTL file only has one material defined: "07___Default".
