textures not appearing on my assets - unity noob

Unity Engine
1

hi, not sure if this is the right section to post - but its a texture/material question.

Im learning Unity (only a few days in) and looking for more info on getting my textures to appear in my game.

Im using XSI to build assets and UVs and exporting as .obj (with UVs)

However, i cannot seem to get any textures visible in my scene. I import my asset (eg a cube), it has mesh renderer on it (and active) with a material connected and a texture of numbers on each side of the cube. My cube just goes black. Playing with the tiling and other things to see if it is on there doesnt do anything.

If i create a cube INSIDE unity, and apply my material/texture it appears (albeit with no UVs, just proj on each side of the cube)

does this mean that there is something weird going on with my export from XSI?

I would love some help on this issue - sorry if this is really simple, its just confusing me

thanks in advance!

I’m pretty sure I’ve used .obj-files in the past with no problems. Would you mind pasting the offending .obj-file?

Hey Agent A

Welcome to the forums. I have seen that before. Trying creating a new material, assign the textures, and then assign the material to the mesh. I always export as FBX. I’ll try .obj and see what happens.

EDIT:
Freeze your stack and start with only one UV set.
I just tried a .obj import and it worked fine.
I didn’t assign a cluster

Here is a .obj you can bring back into XSI and a working untity pkg.

Also make sure the the MTL file is included in the import process.

thanks all for the responses - its really helpful!

I tried the obj you sent through and it works fine - how i expected - however it seems that it is setup the same as my culprit, yet mine still doesnt work

I am playing around for a bit this morning so will let you know as soon as it works.

im sure im just doing some ultra rookie mistake - being in a new app with new methodology can be confusing :wink:

thanks for all the help, will keep you posted!

EDIT:

thanks again for the quick help! I have figured it out and my cube now works

it was not having the MTL file in the right place - like i expected, a rookie error

thanks
