Importing Textures from Blender, external OBJ/FBX ETC

So obviously there's material distortion when importing FBX/OBJs from external 3D apps.

But for simple textures , like blinn diffuse colors, that import fine into Fusion...WHY CAN'T the bump map works? Even if you don't import a material and add your own native Fusion ones, the diffuse is fine, but the bump maps never show up...even if you replace material the obj file.

Is there a workaround? If I did all the bump maps within the native application would that work?

Assign the bump map to the diffuse color slot.

Assign the bump map to the diffuse color slot.

Doesn't work, then you get normal colors. And yes I know it goes in the slot, it's not bumping.

No, you'll have to set up all your materials manually in Fusion.

Hi Gary.

I had a similar problem with bumpmap this week.

For me what solved it was changing from "bumpmap" (which I believe is the default on importing FBX) to "heightmap".
