Question

Mixamo won't display textures on a model uploaded as zip with obj, mtl and png files

Hi, I'm trying to rig a textured model downloaded from the web. It opens correctly in Blender and 3d Viewer. I followed the advice from earlier discussions here.

My model was already an obj file, I made all the texures into png, then modified the mtl file accordingly (although it still contained folder paths from my PC, maybe that's the issue?), then I've packed everyting into a zip.

But uploading the zip into mixamo.com still gives me a textureless model. What am I doing wrong?
I can't post links to my model here, as it marks my post as spam. Also can't attach a zip 😞

there is some adjustment needed on the jacket because the model was designed A pose instead of T but its minor

Thank you very much, it works! ❤️

And what should I do to achieve it myself? I'll have more models from this website, and from other ones. What should I do to be able to upload a similar textured model into mixamo? 
Exporting it from Blender as fbs does not work (textures show in Blender, but after I upload the fbs to mixamo, model is textureless). What software did you use to create the attached fbx?

The issue is Mixamo is old school and can't read a plot system so most of your MTL is ignored, you need part I'd and texture name then as long as the actual texture is included you are fine 

 

I'm at work but will try to take another look today
