Importing .obj file not working.

[Flyndad]

Wheew,. where to start. ...

I found a 3d dungeon arch that I like and want to import into the game.

I loaded into blender and added a texture so it doesn't look like grey plastic.

I exported as a .obj file to my desktop.

This created an .obj file AND a .mtl file.

I then went and found directions on how to import a model into Tabletop Simulator.

I open Objects>Components>Custom>Model

The window opens to input the model/mesh, collider etc,.. I click the folder button and "upload to the cloud. It takes a second and the URL appears but stated that it "failed to load".

I then try to use pastebin (as has been suggested).

I open the .obj file with notepad, select all, and then ctrlC to copy to clipboard.

but it will not paste. When I try to paste it seems like the pastebin page starts to freak out and I get graphic errors on the page with double top bars (the top bar where the tabs are and your icon and account dropdown is etc.

WHY IS THIS SOO DIFFICULT?

HELP?

Pastebin is never a good idea as it's an unreliable text-snippet host, not something dedicated to hosting assets - use the Steam cloud.

The texture is supplied within the game, the model importer has fields for this and materials created within blender will not transfer over (unless you use the Unity modding project).

This is likely not a matter of what host you're using anyways but some issue with the model, potentially it being over 20k tris or some other problem. Supply a link to your model if you need help with troubleshooting it.

this is really good to know cause I wanted to make tts models in blender BUT I already have unity so it works :3 yeah lotsa issues with the model can stop it from uploading proper, you could ask the blender discord they're pretty good about helpin out

Okay,. Thanks folks,. SO,. I should try to put the file in Unity to add the texture and then resave and then load into tts?

Put the link up to the model (the original one that you uploaded to the cloud but failed to import will work too) so someone can take a look and see if it is easy to fix.
