If you wanna keep the original texture file, skip this bit about UVs and texture, maybe you can change the resolution of the original or do some simple color sampling and filtering to create flexicolor options, but otherwise, this is the limit of the automatic mapping of medium. That way I can swap flat textures easily and I don't need to remember the name. Since I use the folder system, I personnally use the name : 'mat1_mtl', ('mat2_mtl', 'mat3.etc) for all my textures, no matter the 3d model. It's also a good idea to come up with your own standard for naming your materials. Keeping things clean will make the packaging much easier later. Take the structure you want, but you shouldn't destroy or overwrite the original exports from medium.

Ex : each model have their own folder with 1 subfolder named 'originals' for the originals FBX coming out of Medium, a second subfolder for the reworked meshes and texture called something like 'Final' + one more subfolder for each version. It's also a good idea to work in a clean folder structure. With all the specifics of the toolkit with the names. It's also very wise to save the blender file right now to be able to revert any transformation that makes you unhappy later on. Rename the model if needed (model names don't matter, but keeping things clean is the right way to do it).

My basic color texture map must have the name Material_BC.png For the whole guide, I will be using the name : 'Material'. This is the name of all your texture maps + _suffix of the particular map. Import the FBX model (Menu File>import>FBX) you just exported from Medium.Ĭheck or rename material(s) in the material(s) tab. Open Blender, create a new file (Ctrl+N), and empty the content (no lights, cube or camera).
