#Missing textures in fbx file?

Hello, I'm really new at all this and very overwhelmed. I purchased a model from turbosquid. It was suppose to come with textures. Importing the fbx into unity resulted in no textures. I open it in blender and I find there are 10 textures being used for a small little model. When I open the materials in blender/shading...all materials have Image texture nodes with references to "Map #XXXXXXX". When I run a missing file repot. All those map files are listed. When I went back to turbosquid I found they had a seperate zip file for the textures. I downloaded this but it seems to be missing textures....for example, one of the mateirals is trunk (the model is a plant) but the folder only has trunk_bump.jpg which is a black and white image...the renderings on the turbosquid page shows very clearly textures on the trunk. Turbosquid is not helping at all. I'm getting the sense that its kinda the wild west...I have no idea if a model is actually going to work/be any good until after I buy it?

I'd appreciate any thoughts...I've wasted two days and money I don't have just trying to get one grass model for a scene working...this is not sustainable in anyway.

IRC, the preview on the website is showing the uploaded files, so theoretically there should be all the textures. Perhaps there's another archive that you're missing? Or you didn't unpack the archive correctly?

#

Sharing a link to the page could be helpful.

Here is the link but I don't think it will help

#

it seems to me like the fbx format doesn't seem to work with Unity or blender

#

..? That's a directory on your pc, not a link.

#

FBX format totally works with blender or Unity.

#

Textures could be embedded in the file or stored separately with the fbx having a path reference to them.

Sorry...updated the link...

maps.rar probably contain all the textures.

mental nacelle
#

It doesn't

#

If not, it's likely a mistake by the publisher and you need to contact them.

like I said...for the trunk it only has a _bump file

#

I'm guessing this file is just junk

#

and there is no way to know until after you buy it, it seems

#

what trunk though?? The webpage says Quality models of simple grass.

mental nacelle
#

its what the artist called the stem

molten palm
#

I see. To me the models look simple enough to have 1 albedo texture for the whole grass.

#

if maps.rar really don't contain anything but bump maps, it sounds like a mistake.

mental nacelle
#

It has some textures but not all

molten palm
#

Ok, so it's not just one texture?

mental nacelle
#

thats all I have

#

It's fine...I'm just learning...I shouldn't have wasted so much time on this...I think I'm just going to try and convert the materials to single color

molten palm
#

It could be that the trunk is reusing one of the other color maps

#

though I must say that jpg is quite unprofessional for textures...

FBX can have packed textures which can be reached with "extract textures" in import settings
Seems unlikely some would be packed yet some not, but it's possible

#

I tried unpacking and it said none found

#

the missing file reported listed all the "MAP #" files

#

I think I'm just going to give up on this model

If they appear correct in blender, you can look at the paths there and see which textures they refer to and where

They don't appear correct in blender
