Title: Can I export a model with textures to FBX?...
Post by: johnnyswedish on 2023-11-14, 10:17:38
Hi Forum,

Just finished a simple cap with a logo on the front, this is all geometry, not a decal. I have textured up the cap with simple colours and displacements. The client wants to use this in a program called Sparks AR and they need it exported as FBX or DAE. Is this possible, never had to export before so would need some Jedi help please :-)

You can convert your corona materials using this script (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=40480.msg217103#msg217103), then export to FBX.

As far as I know, it is not possible to export Corona materials as baking is not supported. I haven't looked at this script so I cannot say either way. Perhaps converting the mats to C4D and baking them might work in order to export to fbx or dae?

Thank you for your help on this guys :-) To be honest, this is never a thing I do and will pass on it. Thought it was a straight forward thing. At least I know what to tell people next time. Have a good week all :-) John
