Windows 10: Paint 3d Imported Model is grey

Hi!

I downloaded a model from the internet as a zip file (The model is obj file).

When I go to Paint 3D app and import this model, thee model is shown without colors and textures - Just grey.

How do I solve this?

Thank you,

Importing models into Paint 3D

Hello Paula Costantini,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

May I know from where you are importing the fbx and obj files?

Ideally, when you are trying to import/export fbx and obj files, make sure the resolution is low. Meanwhile, when you export the 3D model, I suggest you to reduce the polygon face count to the minimum and try to import it on Paint 3D and try
to apply the texture map and check. During the export of FBX file from any 3D software that you are using, put a check mark on Textures and Materials and export it. By doing this, you will be able to adjust the mapping in Paint 3D.

However, I commend and appreciate you for recognizing this behavior. This is a valuable suggestion as there may be other users with a similar requirement. Hence, I suggest you to leave a
Feedback for this product so
that our developer team can look into this and check if it can be implemented in the future updates.

Importing models into Paint 3D

Hello, I can import fbx and obj files into Paint 3D but the mapping is not maintained. I tried stickers and it looks like the uvw defaults to spherical. Is there any way to adjust the mapping in paint 3D?

Thanks
