Great solution thanks Giuseppe

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a 3D object in Minecraft and exported it as a .glb, I’ve converted it into a .fbx through Blender but when I import it into CoSpaces, the textures are not visible. (I’ve also tried this with .obj (+ .lib) and .stl formats but textures were not visible on all 3.)

chair.glb is exported from Minecraft
chair.fbx is exported from Blender

In folder ‘Trial 2’ it contains another object that I exported from Minecraft and also exported from Blender.

Would really appreciate your help with this as we’re trying to find a good integration between the two applications. Thank you so much!

hi @caprikonedu, It would be a good start point if you take a look to this add-on:
blender-minecraft add on

Hi @caprikonedu,
I noticed some errors in the chair fbx file exported (there were also the default cube of Blender). In Blender I reassigned the UV image and then here it is your model in obj format, you can drag it directly into CoSpaces:
chair.zip (431.5 KB)

Hope this helps,
Giuseppe

Hi @caprikonedu,
this is the fbx version of your file: to obtain the texture you have to drag this zip file (fbx+png).

Thank you so much for the advice and helping me export these two, @Giuseppe_Schiuma! I’ll take some time to learn the github add-on too… I appreciate it!

[Giuseppe_Schiuma]

Hi @caprikonedu, it isn’t necessary to know github, if you want to create some models in Minecraft and import them in CoSpaces I think you have two ways:

1. You can export your models on paint 3d (I assume… as I’m not in Windows world), then in 3D Builder to convert them in obj format so you can export them into CoSpaces
2. You can download the add on for Blender 3D from GitHub, install it and then import all your files in Blender from Minecraft so you can convert them in fbx or obj format

Hope this helps, Giuseppe

[caprikonedu]

Got it. Thank you so much for your help, Giuseppe!

Hi all,
Sometimes when i want to import 3d object (example in attachment), i can’t use it because it refuse “to come” in the building area and outside in the background. I can’t move it, i can’t change X/Y/Z coordinate… nothing works and i don’t understand why. Do you have an idea ?

I noticed that not al OBJ objects in Sketchfab are uploaded correctly. This can create some problems. It happened that the mtl. file was missing or that the file was too big unzipped ( max = 50mb) or that the extensions weren’t correct to be uploaded. @Giuseppe_Schiuma has a lot of experience with Blender maybe he can help you.

[Giuseppe_Schiuma]

hi @dthomas80,
your objects had the pivot point far from the center point so I corrected their position in Blender 3D. I also resized them (you can resize them as you need in CoSpaces).
Hope this helps, Giuseppe

Thanks a lot. I never use “blender 3d”, i will see that

hi, I wanted to upload some 3d models from onshape to cospaces in the obj format, but then I can’t upload the obj document to cospaces after I downloaded it, so I have to compress it into the zip format. after that, I am able to upload it, but there will be no colour on the model. can you help me out? thx

[chukkkkkk]

same thing happened when I used tinkered but there was colour last time I used tinkercad

[Giuseppe_Schiuma]

Hi @chukkkkkk, if you download files from sketchpad you have 2 folders: source and texture; the source generally contains the obj file and the mtl file; the texture contains all the pictures that cover the mesh. You need to manually edit the mtl file to reassign the correct path to the textures otherwise CoSpaces doesn’t find them.
I suggest to insert all the files (obj, mtl, textures) into one folder. Sometimes I found that mtl file is missing so you need to create it (I use Blender 3D that is free).
Please send us your file so we can see what is the problem.

Hi @Giuseppe_Schiuma , I hope you’re doing well.
Would you please tell me if there is a way to get eggs out of this nest model ?
Birds nest.zip (275.3 KB)

I’ve been searching for an empty nest but in vain.

Thank you in advance.

[Giuseppe_Schiuma]

Hi @tajajtsidi, do you like this nest?

[tajajtsidi]

Perfect, thank you.
Could I change the color.

[Giuseppe_Schiuma]

Hi @tajajtsidi if you upload a 3D model with textures you can’t change color. What colour do you need?

[tajajtsidi]

Thank you @Giuseppe_Schiuma for your precious time. I need this color #e5ab71
