Sandbox doesn't read texture path properly after exporting in .babylon

Bugs

Hey there, I want to export an object with PBR material in .babylon format but when I try to re-open it in the sandbox, all the textures are replaced by a placeholder checkerboard.

I also tried using a node material but it doesn’t work either. For information I tried with both embed texture and using an external link (for instance dropbox and github) without success. That being said I suppose it is a bug in the loading process of the textures since the only way I found to make it work, is to manually refresh the link to the texture in the node material editor. And the console doesn’t show any error so I don’t even now what’s happening in there.

Here is a playground with the object in question : playground.babylonjs.com/#YLCNN0
And saving you several click with the node material I used : nme.babylonjs.com/#LW8M1F

Side note : I tried to export in .glb format to see what happens, and the textures don’t load either.

Thanks for any help

It is totally normal that it does not work with glb which only support pbr materials.

Here you are using a custom material not part of the gltf spec so there is no way to save it in the export.

So @Drigax, you can disregard the glb part.

@Drigax I have a fix for this one due to another project I was working on so do not worry :slight_smile:

Thank you for the quick answer !
Interesting to know that glb only support pbr materials. I’ll keep that in mind since it might be what I want in the end :thinking:
