Great that problem is solved. But you want me to UV Map it, then once I'm done mapping I will need to do this for each individual character as the problem persists. Then when Roblox fixes the problem I will need to scrap my entire rig because each body part is linked to there own individual UV Mapped texture. Yeah, I'll just wait it out.

the uv map will be linked to the roblox body for clothing heck if you do it right you can just slam a new template on and it works

@Nteo But what about if the head isn't separate? Downloading a template wouldn't work then, would it? What about if you're making a place as an obj? @power Why so hostile? I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having and all you say is "map the texture your damn self" like I know how to do it perfectly. M'kay.

You're mapping rectangles and squares. That's not difficult.

"But what about if the head isn't separate? Downloading a template wouldn't work then, would it?" "if you can do it in pmd editor, you can probably do it in a 3d modeling program" is how I usually treat 3d modeling split material "What about if you're making a place as an obj?" hello there split materials

@power But that's easy for you to say, what about others like me? What people aren't understanding is that ROBLOX Studio did generate textures for the obj model, but now they don't due to a glitch. If it's fixable, I'd love to know how to fix it as so far, none of the solutions I've tried have worked for me. M'kay.

Also, to quote the blog post of the OBJ exporter here: http://blog.roblox.com/2014/05/obj-exporter-open-roblox-files-with-any-3d-software/ "The OBJ Exporter exports all level geometry, textures, and materials of any place you create inside Studio." If it does export the textures, where are they? M'kay.

where you save the file are you that blind I've done it before

#162583641Thursday, May 21, 2015 8:31 PM GMT

@Nteo I'm not blind, I'm saving it in my documents in a folder where I put ROBLOX exports in, only shows the obj and mtl, no textures what so ever. Might be an OS problem, people having this problem have Windows 8. Tried running in compatibility mode but no dice. What OS are you guys running? M'kay.

works the way I stated on windows 7 and whatever mac currently is m9 other people w/ windows 8 says it's working fine pick a different folder and/or check the mtl file for what you might need

The textures are exported along with the place; they are exported as "materials". I believe you have to manually set them, though.

Well in this video: https://youtu.be/8azRrOwND94?t=2m9s He gets a texture when he exports his character and I don't understand why I don't. In his newer video, he gets an mtl file but when I set the mtl file on my pc, my character turns black in Cinema 4D and I get errors about missing textures when I try to render it. And Nteo, I'm not the only one with this problem: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=162438464 http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=162201077 http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=161510651 M'kay.

Before I say anything, can I just point out how obviously sexist Nteorvolri is? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll quote: "why does a girl want to do 3d modeling anyway" Girls may do as they please on ROBLOX just as much as the boys can. If he/she wants to do 3D modelling then they can and you shouldn't question it. To move on to the topic, I've tried rendering something and it seems to be working fine for me, so are you sure you're doing it right?

#162664469Friday, May 22, 2015 11:11 PM GMT

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. I put in my character, removed all it's scripts, taken out the hats and I'm left with just the handles of the hats. I right click the model and export selection and save it in a folder with nothing in it. When I go into Cinema 4D and set the material, the character is black and no textures are to be found. M'kay.

#162676681Saturday, May 23, 2015 1:43 AM GMT

What I did for Cinema 4D is: I went onto Edit Mode on an empty Baseplate, I pressed F6 on Windows to show my character Then I went into Explorer Opened Workspace, Then Player I right clicked Player and Ungrouped it all Re-Grouped Right clicked "Model" Export Selection... Saved it into a folder Opened Cinema 4D File Open... The model of my player with all hats and body appears, but grey So I: Press Model1 on the bottom left Press Color on the bottom right Where texture is written I press the ... I find the image file And that's it

Yes guys, exporting a PLACE exports all materials but if the place has a texture it wont work. excuse me for my english.

@Gwen I followed your instructions to a tee, still no textures and the character is black in Cinema 4D. WTF ROBLOX? M'kay.

Rendering works fine. You guys seem to misunderstand what I say.
