Correct outdated details on Blender glTF addon. Principled BSDF material is now supported.

| Mar 16, 2018 at 18:24 | comment | added | Mike Erwin | I can add something about Unreal and glTF, don't know about FBX. Cycles, Eevee, and Unreal each have powerful node-based materials. The glTF 2.0 material model is simpler but can handle a large percentage of game art needs (image-texture-based PBR). glTF works between Blender and Unreal (as of 4.19) for Static Meshes with Materials. You can have multiple materials in a single mesh object, and these will show up as material slots in Unreal. From there you can use the materials imported from glTF or swap them out / author new ones in Unreal. | |

| Jan 1, 2018 at 13:26 | comment | added | phil123 | @Duarte Farrajota Ramos there are countless export scripts that export blender meshes with their assigned materials | |

| Nov 24, 2017 at 1:38 | comment | added | Sazerac | Its worth noting that a lot of applications/formats care about assigned material slots (i.e. which verts have which material assigned), but not the actual material that is assigned, as they need these for assigning their own materials. | |

| Mar 12, 2017 at 22:58 | comment | added | Duarte Farrajota Ramos♦ | All maps are quite common for some families of render engines while quite uncommon for others. While normal or ambient occlusion are quite common for game engines and real time, they are rarely used in "offline renders" for example. Point is no matter the texture, most importers and exporters don't bother with materials because it would be impossible to cater for all possible outcomes. | |
| Mar 12, 2017 at 21:21 | comment | added | tmighty | @DuarteFarrajotaRamos But diffuse and normal are quite common and not depending on the rendering engine very much, right? | |

| Jul 11, 2016 at 12:44 | comment | added | Duarte Farrajota Ramos♦ | I have never used Unreal or any other engine, I have no clue, you will have to ask about it in a dedicated community I'm afraid. I hear some engines do not allow multiple materials per mesh, you would have to break it apart into several objects. Anyway you can apply the materials in Blender, for visual fidelity in the viewport, and if the importer supports that it's less work you have to redo in engine, just don't expect to use the same exact material definitions. | |
| Jul 11, 2016 at 2:56 | comment | added | harold4964 | Duarte, Am I correct in assuming when I unwrap my model I do not need to apply a material when exporting it as FBX. As long as I have unwrapped it correctly upon import into say Unreal it will give it a material? If this is the case How do i get say two different materials on a wall and the skirting boards around it for example. Learning I am :) | |
