FBX to GLB conversion losing my textures — what am I doing wrong?

I'm exporting architectural models from Revit as FBX and then using the FBX to GLB converter here on iLove3D. The geometry comes through perfectly, but all my textures are missing in the output GLB.

The FBX file looks correct when I open it in Blender — materials and textures are all there. But after conversion the GLB is just grey.

Has anyone run into this? Is there a setting I'm missing or do I need to embed the textures differently in the FBX?

This is a super common issue with FBX files from Revit. The problem is that Revit exports textures as external file references (relative paths), but the converter only sees the single FBX file you uploaded.

Solution: Before uploading, make sure your textures are embedded in the FBX. In Blender you can do this:

Import the FBX
Go to File → External Data → Pack Resources
Re-export as FBX with "Path Mode" set to "Copy" and the embed icon enabled

Then upload that FBX to the converter and your textures should come through.

That was exactly it! I packed the resources in Blender and re-exported, and now the GLB has all the materials. Thank you so much Jake, this saved me hours of frustration.

Just want to add — if you're doing this regularly for client work, you might want to look into the workflow tool. You can set up a pipeline that converts and compresses in one step so you don't have to do it manually every time.
