So im really new to blender, and ive been downloading and trying to export models and objects to Tower Unite. Every time i manage to export an item to it, after decimating it to have a low enough polycount, they always seem to show up with no textures.

Upon looking this issue up ive seen things saying that these file formats dont export with textures, (EXAMPLE = [https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/57531/fbx-export-why-there-are-no-materials-or-textures](https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/57531/fbx-export-why-there-are-no-materials-or-textures)) and so i was wondering how people are getting there models in the game with their textures.

Please help a noobie

> If your imported model is missing textures, please ensure the textures are at the location defined in the model format.  
> If you use .DAE, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK “Include UV Textures” and “Include Material Textures” in the export settings.  
> If you use .DAE, you can view the DAE in notepad to see where the texture files are pointing to.  
> If you use .FBX, the texture files should be where you exported the FBX at (in most cases).  
> We currently support TGA, PNG, and JPG as the texture formats. Make absolutely sure you are using those formats!

From [Tower Unite Workshop Manual](https://www.towerunite.com/sdk/troubleshooting)

I suggest using DAE, it’s a lot easier.

I’m using DAE and even using the suggested addon, and still not luck. I have this error every time:
