Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about this tutorial in the comments below! :)
thank you so much!!
Great video and really helpful! But I have a problem that i can't fix. When I open my model the colors of it are weird mixed with green, pink blue...Can you plz tell me what I have done wrong? Thank you!
@@mraparadektos4252 what i you download a file and its pink but it doesn't come with any textures at all
@@oldmatelarry7727 yes its because u may missing the textures files
@@oldmatelarry7727 I got the same problem. If you have the textures of the model, go to files, external disk, missing files and then go find the textures file and press open images.
Dude you're a life saver, I just wanna hug you.
Glad it helped!

@@nfmg1719 yes but its online hug
Me toooi
Blender is extremely deep (in a good way) and learning it without formal training can come with brain-exhaustion. This short tutorial has relieved a lot of my brain trauma. THANKS!
yes
@@omegablaze8008 yes?
@@watashiwhyareyouhere yes!
Such a simple fix, but a headache to figure out. Thank you for this. You're a life saver ❤
Glad it helped!

i watched countless tutorials on this problem for many days... none was able to fix the problem until i discovered this video. IT WORKED MORE THAN I WANTED IT TO. BEST, SIMPLE, CLEAR AND STRAIGHT FORWARD VIDEO. Thank You.
Also, check to see if the material in the background is the cause of the problem (you can check by selecting the "World Properties" and see what the preview looks like). For me, my textures were showing up fine in the Viewport Shading but when I checked Cycles my model had the texture but was also shaded with pink. I searched high and low and found out this was what was causing the problem for me. Hope this helps someone else! :)
it helped me, thank you!! :)
Cheers!!!
hey same proplem after two years anyways when i import the file in a new project every thing fine but in my main project its pink how do i enter world proprties plz
Can you please explain a bit more?
4 years later and still savin lives. Thank you so much for this short, sweet and to the point video.
THIS IS SUCH A LIFESAVER!
Also, A quick tip for those who are plagued by this problem after recovering an autosaved file - if you specify that Blender make all file paths absolute rather than relative, it won't try searching the directory or folder that it ends up in (temp, if you're recovering an autosave) and will instead keep the links to their original locations in the file system. I think this eliminates the problem entirely, but as a result if you want to move the blender file and its asset files into a new folder everything will break in the same way, so only do this if you're absolutely positive you won't be migrating the files anywhere else.
Looks like I have to start from finding missing video. Don't know why I cannot play your video in better quality than 360p.
No clue - it's uploaded higher than that
@@TheCGEssentials I'm having the same problem with the video quality.
Maybe it's because of the global lockdown. The internet services have had a few changes to reduce traffic. You cannot play above 480p in my country (India). Is everything else playing on higher resolution ?
@@sussyflowerperson9212 Other videos play well on high resolution, even on this channel.
@@mipe7755 Oh. Then it seems like a different issue. Just in case, try playing it by using a VPN.
Wow, my gut instinct when this happened to me in Blender was to do an internet search for it, because nothing in Blender is logical or intuitive. Turns out, this one time it actually was! :)
my man, ur a LIFE savior. 10 min before I had to deliver a school project (blender model) it all had turned purple. tysm!!!!
this one is really good but, my blender keeps telling me that there is no texture found, so i did the next best thing, and instead of letting blender do the job, i went into the shading- and browsed for the texture myself and its applied directly, this option also very easy and more productive if you maybe don't like the actual texture and you want to replace it.
Solid information man, much apprecaite you taking the time to go over quick tips that can be frustrating when your first starting out, lol. Appreciate it
the thing is there is no folder
Extract it
...same
It happened with reference images in my case, and since there were only 3 of them in a folder, it took a second to fix the problem! This really helps, thanks:)
Glad it helped!
A LIFE SAVER I SPENT 6+ HORUS CHECKING CONSTENTLY ON MY RENDER AND I CHECKED AT ONE POINT AND IT WAS PINK YOU SAVED ME❤
Thnx SOOOOO MUCH! This Helped Very MUCH! THANK U!
Try checking for time stamps or additional text in your texture file. The MTL file is looking for the exact file name. In my case, i transferred my KIT to my HD and when it did this it added a timestamp to the file name. I needed to use a bulk rename to get rid of the text at the end. It was really annoying.
AS ALWAYS THE BEST EXPLANATIONS ON THE TOPIC... everyone wannabe a tutorial maker but few know how to explain things... you're my fav! thanks
Trying my best - thanks!
Thank you! I panicked when i load file and saw a pink texture. I didn't know that this problem is easy to fix.
It doesn’t work for me, I click the image file and it doesn’t let me click it or highlight it to then click find missing files
Try putting the specific textures in one folder so that it's easier for it to scan it, since im pretty sure it doesn't allow it to highlight
Omg u saved my life I was making my biggest ever project in blender
Glad you got it working!
Thanks bro, this really helped me. At first I got frustrated by the missing textures. But then your videos came to my recommendation and helped me.
Glad it helped!
As a new 3d dev, in blender, you is my life saver
What if all the textures are embeded on the .blend file
because I dont have the image files, just the .blend file
how do I fix it?
I know it had textures because I go to materials and set somthing as image textures, I can find all the textures
Same, for some reason I cant find anything related to this though.
it just tells me can not find file (insert file name here)
same :(
@@roggie2036 same
Went thru 5 garbage tutorials until I found this gem. Bless you!
Glad it helped!
Just now seeing this public service announcement. Very much appreciated!
If I do this my blender crashes :( Have a pretty beefy system tho.
I know it was 3 years ago when you put the video up but it's still a gem today! Thank you.
this kinda helped, but it keeps saying some textures can't be found, but i'm looking at them right there in the folder. and this is a recent project that i opened a couple days ago, and nothing was pink.
@@Slog32 omg same!! It's so frustrating seeing all these tutorials when none of them helps
Although it only plays in 360 quality, it helped in no time. great! thanks
the intros to these vids are awesome and wake me up when i forget how welcoming they are haha
You dropped this, my king 👑
This is what I have been looking
Great job sir ...thank you
Glad to help!
thanks so much man! i made my textures in a project i was working on and the next day everything was pink. now its good again! thanks a bunch.
Glad I could help!
Thnak youuuuu so much , i suffered for hours to get them back and thanx u to u they r back and i motivated again !!
Glad I could help!
Thank you, This is my first day, and I restarted twice, because it would crash while rendering, and I would come back to missing textures. Thank you again for the help.
This is a life saver for beginners. Super helpful 👍
I'm having a problem of my own with pink textures that may or may not be unrelated: while trying to apply a texture to a simple cube through an image texture node, the cube comes out completely pink, even though the material preview shows the correct texture. Weirder, some textures will work on the cube, while others don't! Getting this problem in both Cycles and Eevee.
Gonna guess my problem is a different one. Great video though!
I don't 100% understand - how could the cube be pink while also having the material preview show the correct texture? Wouldn't it be one or the other?
omg thanks for this video! i deleted so many models i spend forever on because i thought the textures were broken and the model was based around the texture and if the texture was gone i would just make a new one
You can also set the path to a root folder or directory if you can't find the specific folder. Thanks for making this video, it was super helpful! ❤
It pains me to admit how long I spent trying to figure out wtf was going on when I moved one of my folders around but could still see the link and even the texture previews looked fine. This solved it immediately. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm just starting out and the program is already daunting in itself, so when I woke up and saw all the textures missing after all my work learning yesterday, well.. lol! Great video :)
Hey could you help me? I press find missing files and wait for it to load but nothing happens..
@@GraphicGR are you in the same file folder that you used for your textures when you press find? I hope you'll get it back
@@MrCuptastic After I exported j had made a folder for it to go into and a put it in and then went into blender. Then I imported it and pressed texture paint and it turned to purple and I did the thing find missing files but nothing happening after many minutes and I kept trying. Now it’s went from being pink to not changing color at all and just saying missing texture detected.
@@GraphicGR I apologize, I started using the program for the first time 2 days ago, so I'm still very much a noob lol! I don't know what might be the issue unfortunately. I did some reading around tho, but the only things I got was to make sure you're using an updated version of blender.
I also saw this, but not sure how helpful it is:
"In texture paint mode in the upper bar is a texture slot option. Yours might be set to single image without an image. Change it to material and it will detect your created image."
@@MrCuptastic ok thanks
U just saved me from not trying something new thanks a lot!!!!!!!
thenk you very much! finally i found my missing textures😄🥰
Thank you for making this video. I sam still very new to Blender and couldn't figure out why the project I downloaded was pink/purple. Never would have thought to look in File.
Man, very effective, it really did find the missing textures, thank you alot!
Thanks Justin that helped me a lot! Much appreciated.
Exactly what I needed! Many Thanks!
Still works perfectly as of Blender 4.1
well this just saved me about 30 minutes of tedium. THANKS!
Thanks so much. A three year old video, and as useful in 2023 as it was back then!
Thank you so much! I don't know why I didn't do this earlier haha
Well... you saved me probably an hour or more of linking to a kitbash texture folder I moved so thank you
Thanks a lot buddy , you have saved my atleast 2 hrs😭😭 , i want to submit tommorow my project , you saved my time , thanks 🥳🥳😍😍
for some people if you download a model or file .blend some textures can have a different format that the one you downloaded convert it then do automatic search for example an error would pop up with the .name like .TGA convert then search
even in blender 3.0 this saved me
thanks a ton
Glad it helped!
This helped me with my new Cyberpunk Kitbash3d set. Love your content mate. Thank's a bunch!
YOU ABSOLUTE HERO, YOU SAVED ME, i had 400 objects with 400 something different textures. Subbed,THANK YOU!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. This is far better than manually re-inputting each individual texture.
Lol - true statement for sure - thanks for watching!
omfg you saved my life...was so close to having a breakdown but thought to see if anyone could help and you fucking did thank you so much
it works! after running into so many other blender problems and spending hours, I feel heckin amazing! this took like 5 minutes!
This helped! Thank you!
I love you. you literally saved my life billion times.
After hours. Finally a simple video showing me instead of some ball aching way lol. Thanks man. Liked and subbed
Thank you so freaking much!!! short and just gets straight to the point
Okay, that was f**king brilliant. Thanks for helping. I was bashing my head against the wall because nobody uses the "External Data/Pack Resources" when they sell their assets online. That would solve this problem. But now you've shown me how to fix this monster issue. Cheers
This is super helpful thank you! Saved me so much time. I was going and picking each png file one by one to build out the model. LIFESAVER!
Short, quickly & useful.
Awesome!
HAHA THANKS MAN. Funny thing, this is the exact same kitbash I purchased and faced the issue. Again, I appreciate the fix.
LOL - that's why I made the video in the first place :)
Hi CG, You fixed my complete project, Thanks. 🐶
This may have been created around 2 years ago but this still helps, thanks!!!
great video justin, great help as always
it worked hhhhh i was having this problem for 3 months and its so simple thx m8
You saved me from a constant headache
This helped me a ton after trying to fix it for ages. Thank you kind sir!
Glad it helped!
U SAVED MY LIFEEEE!!!! thank you 😭
Thank you big time! Subbed. As a Maya user had no idea how to do this obviously. I know it in Maya but useless here :) Quick search and done. Thanks again!
Ty, in my case I simply forgot that I did some clean folder hierarchy including those missing ones ;)
omg thanks I did not know how to do this so when I would have the purple models I would individually go and change every single texture it was such a pain. thx :)
dude youre a lifesaver
YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE
I like the "file path editor"in Maya, its essential when working in a network with other people, strange that something like this i missing in Blender
Great! I have had this experience without a clue what to do about it. Now I do. Thanks!
your starting to speak style is really interesting and thanks for teaching for free to everyone :)
Thank you! 😃
!ACTUAL FIX! at 1:30. Go to file: external data: find missing files and select your missing textures from there.
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WAS ALMOST CRYING BECAUSE OF THE MISSING TEXTURES, YOU SAVED ME !
God you just saved me so much time trying to reimport everything. Thank you so much!
I know its been a year since this video is up, but thank you for this tutorial! you saved me
