- With the abundance of models and textures online it can be confusing learning to bring everything in to Blender. In this tutorial I'll show how to build PBR assets from image textures, how to import and correct 3d scans/models, and how to bring node groups in to Blender as well.

What sparked my attention was...how to organize your folders! Lots of pause video just to look at how you organized stuff
Have you seen my video on that topic? ua-cam.com/video/pA8-rw56t4g/v-deo.html
Maybe I'll revisit it soon
@@DanielGrovePhoto No I had not thanks
@@kimopuppy I've improved things a little bit since then so I may redo that, not sure. but the basic idea is the same
@@DanielGrovePhoto Something you hinted at -- How do you remember who to give Attribution to?
@@kimopuppy You could save the link to the file and author name as a text data block in the Blend file or even better paste it to a .txt file that's in the same folder as the asset files. I usually have each 3d scan in it's own folder which contains the fbx/obj and the blend file I make as well as a texture folder.
Your videos are so easy to follow, it’s really motivating me to continue with blender 😊
I think ... USD(a,c) is a Pixar format that may become very popular in the future to transfer entire animation files between programs.
very informative and to the point, i needed this tutorial. in 17 minutes i learn so much thanks 🙂
the video i needed.. thankyou so much
Thank you for this video. I could finally import my texture!
Glad to hear that! be sure to organize your textures in to folders and sub folders so you know where to put new assets and where to find old ones.
how
This great entry video. Thx man
thanks you so much , very very helpful
Hello, how do you make your value menu (principled BSDF with all the settings displayed directly?) I'm obliged to open each setting to see and make my settings. Thanks by advance
Are you using Blender 4.0+? They changed the BSDF to have separate panels. I don't yet know how to expand them all at once.
great tips, thank you
I imported it too, but the texture is not applied. Why is that and how can i import as it actually is ?
What format was it? Did it come with image files?
Thank you very much))
Thank you
You're welcome!
I don't have any "blender" folder like you have. Used windows search, no results. And I just installed blender last week. There's a "Blender Foundation" folder, but nothing in there looking like your path.
That folder I made myself as well as all the folders in it so that I can organize things.
@@DanielGrovePhoto Thanks, that worked.
your voice sounds like someone famous in movies but i cant put my finger on it
Thanks! I've been called the Bob Ross of Blender lol!
HOW TO IMPORT FSPV FILE IN BLENDER
Never heard of that one sorry. Have you googled it? Maybe there's an addon to import them.
when i download a asset im using it doesnt give me the 3d object thing it only gives me pngs and a fbx file when i go into the file
got it working with another asset so yay
Fbx is a 3d format. Use the Fbx import option in Blender.
@@DanielGrovePhoto thanks
The problem is that you downloaded them one by one most of the time. I don't want that. For instance, why is there no 3D Warehouse Addon for Blender that downloads models directly into Blender(?).
There are some addons for just that! Sketchfab has their own now. Blender kit is another good one. I'm sure there are various others available.
thnx
hey im new to blender currently been workin on a game project, so recently I'm having problem when importng fbx objects the textures are missing i makes all the imported objects pitch black and seacrhed everywhere (if i didnt search enough..) but just couldnt find somethin to helpp my case. Any ideas?
If they are prepared properly by their creator they should retain base color and normals maps but I have no experience prepping stuff with anything other than Blender. I have experienced mishaps with Sketchfab FBX files. Sorry I don't have any answer for you. Fortunately (at least in my experience0 UV Maps are retained so if you manually fix or creat the materials with the right images the UV maps will kick in and save you the unwrapping time. Did your FBX downloads come with image maps?
my asset is a .blend file what do i do?
Go to File>append find the blend file, go in to it and select which things you want to import. You can import anything such as meshes, materials, node groups etc.
@@DanielGrovePhoto thanks 🙏
when i try to import the fbx element, doesn't load the textures, it only appear the white element.
The textures may not have been setup correctly ahead of time. What program was it created in or site was it downloaded from? Also how many texture images are there?
@@DanielGrovePhoto hi.i have thé same problem.i download frome cgtrader.and cant find it.and if i find it blender wont alow me to add addons or texture.
@@davedave510 what format did it download as? And how are you trying to add it in Blender? Are you using the asset browser or the File>Import feature?
@@DanielGrovePhoto i used the import feature.and it download as normal file.but the computer cant opend it
@@davedave510 was it a zip file, fbx, or obj file? In the import menu be sure to use the right option or it won't see the file you're looking for. Also if it's in a zip file be sure to extract the 3d file and any textures also so blender can access the files you downloaded.
Hey, How would I put an .ASSET file for a 3d model in blender, Or convert it to a .obj file without it not appearing or turning invisible?
Im asking this because my friend is having trouble putting an .ASSET 3d model file into blender
I'm not familiar with the. . Asset file type. What program does that come from? At what point for them does it disappear? Is it in the asset browser already or are they trying to bring it in the blender with the file>import dialog?
@@DanielGrovePhoto Let me ask my friend about it rq
@@DanielGrovePhoto I looked at one of the footages and she uses the import duologue I believe
@@GreyscaleJ what is the file type of the 3d file they want to import? I use fbx and obj as they are very common. They may need to look online to see if someone has made an importer addon for the file type they are dealing with.
@@DanielGrovePhoto the file type is .ASSET I think
My textures are tga folders how do o import them???
Not familiar with rga folders what are those?
@@DanielGrovePhoto I don’t know but the icon is like a paper with lines like this:📄
@@DanielGrovePhoto I found a way to change that file into a other file like png and jpg
@@jensdaems6913 If Blender can't open TGA files in an image texture node you'll need to convert it like you said. Irfanview may be able to do in in batch (it's free also) if you have a bunch of images to convert. I use it to resize large amounts of photos from weddings and photoshoots.
As for importing them as assets images cannot be assets in Blender. You can have materials using that image/images and the material can be an asset though. I keep all my images organized in category folders and can easily find them that way. I have a video on how my files are organized if you're interested.
how do i import a .zipfoldre
You can't. You must extract the files from within it to a normal folder then blender can see the files. I'm assuming the contents are blender friendly filetpyes. I usually drag and drop the contents to a custom made folder for my zip downloads.
When I try to create folders and add things I get the error: Only assets from current file can be moved between folders???
Yep to organize assets you have to be working within that blend file. That's the most annoying part of the asset browser hoping it can be changed soon.
@@DanielGrovePhoto yeah that's mad annoying and as a new user I don't wanna deal with it, I'll focus on other things till they fix that lol. Thanks for this video though.
@@DanielGrovePhoto Do you have a video on UV Editing, cause that's another thing as a beginner that kills me.
WHERE IS THE VLENDER FILES AREA IM GOING INSANE
Blender files? Can you be more specific? Are you referring to something you downloaded, something internal inside Blender, or something you saw that I had on my computer in this video?
@@DanielGrovePhoto so i downloaded a file from sketchfab but i cant find the folder im supposed to put the files into which in your case is named "blender" and where i should put it
@@DanielGrovePhoto I couldn’t find where u put the file since I could find it it said stuff like shaders , texture, and where u had a sketch fab folder
@@Saadan_playz Oh yes those are folders I've created myself and filled with content I've bought, downloaded, and made myself. I'm a very organized artist and it pays off! But if you're importing an asset it doesn't matter where it is though I do suggest you get in the habit of organizing things early on.
@@DanielGrovePhoto OHHHH i though they needed to be in a specific folder to work thanks 😊😊
