Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about this tutorial in the comments below! :)
thank you so much!!
Great video and really helpful! But I have a problem that i can't fix. When I open my model the colors of it are weird mixed with green, pink blue...Can you plz tell me what I have done wrong? Thank you!
@@mraparadektos4252 what i you download a file and its pink but it doesn't come with any textures at all
@@oldmatelarry7727 yes its because u may missing the textures files
@@oldmatelarry7727 I got the same problem. If you have the textures of the model, go to files, external disk, missing files and then go find the textures file and press open images.
Dude you're a life saver, I just wanna hug you.
Glad it helped!
Maintain Social Distancing 😂
@@nfmg1719 yes but its online hug
Me toooi
i watched countless tutorials on this problem for many days... none was able to fix the problem until i discovered this video. IT WORKED MORE THAN I WANTED IT TO. BEST, SIMPLE, CLEAR AND STRAIGHT FORWARD VIDEO. Thank You.
Blender is extremely deep (in a good way) and learning it without formal training can come with brain-exhaustion. This short tutorial has relieved a lot of my brain trauma. THANKS!
yes
@@omegablaze8008 yes?
@@watashiwhyareyouhere yes!
Such a simple fix, but a headache to figure out. Thank you for this. You're a life saver ❤
Glad it helped!

Solid information man, much apprecaite you taking the time to go over quick tips that can be frustrating when your first starting out, lol. Appreciate it
THIS IS SUCH A LIFESAVER!
Also, A quick tip for those who are plagued by this problem after recovering an autosaved file - if you specify that Blender make all file paths absolute rather than relative, it won't try searching the directory or folder that it ends up in (temp, if you're recovering an autosave) and will instead keep the links to their original locations in the file system. I think this eliminates the problem entirely, but as a result if you want to move the blender file and its asset files into a new folder everything will break in the same way, so only do this if you're absolutely positive you won't be migrating the files anywhere else.
my man, ur a LIFE savior. 10 min before I had to deliver a school project (blender model) it all had turned purple. tysm!!!!
Also, check to see if the material in the background is the cause of the problem (you can check by selecting the "World Properties" and see what the preview looks like). For me, my textures were showing up fine in the Viewport Shading but when I checked Cycles my model had the texture but was also shaded with pink. I searched high and low and found out this was what was causing the problem for me. Hope this helps someone else! :)
it helped me, thank you!! :)
Cheers!!!
hey same proplem after two years anyways when i import the file in a new project every thing fine but in my main project its pink how do i enter world proprties plz
Can you please explain a bit more?
Wow, my gut instinct when this happened to me in Blender was to do an internet search for it, because nothing in Blender is logical or intuitive. Turns out, this one time it actually was! :)
4 years later and still savin lives. Thank you so much for this short, sweet and to the point video.
this one is really good but, my blender keeps telling me that there is no texture found, so i did the next best thing, and instead of letting blender do the job, i went into the shading- and browsed for the texture myself and its applied directly, this option also very easy and more productive if you maybe don't like the actual texture and you want to replace it.
Looks like I have to start from finding missing video. Don't know why I cannot play your video in better quality than 360p.
No clue - it's uploaded higher than that
@@TheCGEssentials I'm having the same problem with the video quality.
Maybe it's because of the global lockdown. The internet services have had a few changes to reduce traffic. You cannot play above 480p in my country (India). Is everything else playing on higher resolution ?
@@sussyflowerperson9212 Other videos play well on high resolution, even on this channel.
@@mipe7755 Oh. Then it seems like a different issue. Just in case, try playing it by using a VPN.
Try checking for time stamps or additional text in your texture file. The MTL file is looking for the exact file name. In my case, i transferred my KIT to my HD and when it did this it added a timestamp to the file name. I needed to use a bulk rename to get rid of the text at the end. It was really annoying.
Thanks bro, this really helped me. At first I got frustrated by the missing textures. But then your videos came to my recommendation and helped me.
Glad it helped!
It happened with reference images in my case, and since there were only 3 of them in a folder, it took a second to fix the problem! This really helps, thanks:)
Glad it helped!
Thnx SOOOOO MUCH! This Helped Very MUCH! THANK U!
If I do this my blender crashes :( Have a pretty beefy system tho.
This is super helpful thank you! Saved me so much time. I was going and picking each png file one by one to build out the model. LIFESAVER!
It pains me to admit how long I spent trying to figure out wtf was going on when I moved one of my folders around but could still see the link and even the texture previews looked fine. This solved it immediately. Thank you!
What if all the textures are embeded on the .blend file
because I dont have the image files, just the .blend file
how do I fix it?
I know it had textures because I go to materials and set somthing as image textures, I can find all the textures
Same, for some reason I cant find anything related to this though.
Omg u saved my life I was making my biggest ever project in blender
Glad you got it working!
The second video by you which has answered a burning question very thoroughly and succinctly. Subscribed - plesae keep pushing out these quick tips !
Awesome, thank you!
AS ALWAYS THE BEST EXPLANATIONS ON THE TOPIC... everyone wannabe a tutorial maker but few know how to explain things... you're my fav! thanks
Trying my best - thanks!
the thing is there is no folder
Extract it
...same
It doesn’t work for me, I click the image file and it doesn’t let me click it or highlight it to then click find missing files
Try putting the specific textures in one folder so that it's easier for it to scan it, since im pretty sure it doesn't allow it to highlight
I know it was 3 years ago when you put the video up but it's still a gem today! Thank you.
This helped me with my new Cyberpunk Kitbash3d set. Love your content mate. Thank's a bunch!
it just tells me can not find file (insert file name here)
same :(
@@roggie2036 same
You can also set the path to a root folder or directory if you can't find the specific folder. Thanks for making this video, it was super helpful! ❤
it works! after running into so many other blender problems and spending hours, I feel heckin amazing! this took like 5 minutes!
thanks so much man! i made my textures in a project i was working on and the next day everything was pink. now its good again! thanks a bunch.
Glad I could help!
thanks a lot for this tutorial, i had this same problem for a lot of my old files which became purple as you showed. your tutoriel allowed me to retrieve these files again. I'm very happy of this because this was a hard work during several months.
so again and again thanks a looooot.
:)
After hours. Finally a simple video showing me instead of some ball aching way lol. Thanks man. Liked and subbed
Thank you! I'm just starting out and the program is already daunting in itself, so when I woke up and saw all the textures missing after all my work learning yesterday, well.. lol! Great video :)
Hey could you help me? I press find missing files and wait for it to load but nothing happens..
@@GraphicGR are you in the same file folder that you used for your textures when you press find? I hope you'll get it back
@@MrCuptastic After I exported j had made a folder for it to go into and a put it in and then went into blender. Then I imported it and pressed texture paint and it turned to purple and I did the thing find missing files but nothing happening after many minutes and I kept trying. Now it’s went from being pink to not changing color at all and just saying missing texture detected.
@@GraphicGR I apologize, I started using the program for the first time 2 days ago, so I'm still very much a noob lol! I don't know what might be the issue unfortunately. I did some reading around tho, but the only things I got was to make sure you're using an updated version of blender.
I also saw this, but not sure how helpful it is:
"In texture paint mode in the upper bar is a texture slot option. Yours might be set to single image without an image. Change it to material and it will detect your created image."
@@MrCuptastic ok thanks
Thank you! I panicked when i load file and saw a pink texture. I didn't know that this problem is easy to fix.
Thanks! I am about to do a big reorganisation in my pc, so it will really help!
Thank you so much. This is far better than manually re-inputting each individual texture.
Lol - true statement for sure - thanks for watching!
This helped me a ton after trying to fix it for ages. Thank you kind sir!
Glad it helped!
Thnak youuuuu so much , i suffered for hours to get them back and thanx u to u they r back and i motivated again !!
Glad I could help!
I cannot believe how much you just save my butt with this video...And I have been using Blender for eons and never knew this! Thank you!
Glad I could help! :)
Thank you so freaking much!!! short and just gets straight to the point
Thank you big time! Subbed. As a Maya user had no idea how to do this obviously. I know it in Maya but useless here :) Quick search and done. Thanks again!
Thanks Justin that helped me a lot! Much appreciated.
Great! I have had this experience without a clue what to do about it. Now I do. Thanks!
Perfect video to solve this problem, concise and easy to follow. Had no idea how to solve this. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
YOU ABSOLUTE HERO, YOU SAVED ME, i had 400 objects with 400 something different textures. Subbed,THANK YOU!!
Glad I could help!
just learning blender...that was fast and on point..god bless ya :)
Life Saver!! Thank you such much! Subscribed!
Exactly what I needed! Many Thanks!
Still works perfectly as of Blender 4.1
Thank you for making this video. I sam still very new to Blender and couldn't figure out why the project I downloaded was pink/purple. Never would have thought to look in File.
Maaaaan! You saved my models and so much time remapping each of them! Thanks a lot sir!
Glad I could help!
Although it only plays in 360 quality, it helped in no time. great! thanks
you no joke, just saved my entire file. THANK YOU!~
Omg! Thank you so much for this video, it is really helpful 🙏🏻
Super helpful, it works! You have saved me a great amount of time and effort.
Worked like a charm, well, after I found where the files were! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
the intros to these vids are awesome and wake me up when i forget how welcoming they are haha
Man, very effective, it really did find the missing textures, thank you alot!
Thank you super quick way of explaining what we needed to find you’re the best
great video justin, great help as always
Hey man appreciate your hard work!
This saved me a lot of time.
Thank you, This is my first day, and I restarted twice, because it would crash while rendering, and I would come back to missing textures. Thank you again for the help.
You're the best man. I love your content.
Okay, that was f**king brilliant. Thanks for helping. I was bashing my head against the wall because nobody uses the "External Data/Pack Resources" when they sell their assets online. That would solve this problem. But now you've shown me how to fix this monster issue. Cheers
Straight to the point, thanks mate, great video
God you just saved me so much time trying to reimport everything. Thank you so much!
Ohh dude thank you soooo much for this tip!
This is a life saver for beginners. Super helpful 👍
omg thanks for this video! i deleted so many models i spend forever on because i thought the textures were broken and the model was based around the texture and if the texture was gone i would just make a new one
This may have been created around 2 years ago but this still helps, thanks!!!
Thank you so much! I don't know why I didn't do this earlier haha
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THIIS WORK FOR SO LONG.
Thank you so much for this video! it save me a lot of stress :)
Thank you for this quick video solution to this issue ! it saved me !
Glad it helped!
Short concise and helped a lot. thank you!
Dude, thanks so much. quick and straight to the point
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much! The ONE time I try to get organized I screw up my project and YOU helped me fix it!
Wow, This just saved me so many hours. Thank you so much!
Thank you, this is super helpful!
Thank you! Helped me a ton.
This is an awesome tip, thanks buddy :-)
omg thanks I did not know how to do this so when I would have the purple models I would individually go and change every single texture it was such a pain. thx :)
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WAS ALMOST CRYING BECAUSE OF THE MISSING TEXTURES, YOU SAVED ME !
Hi CG, You fixed my complete project, Thanks. 🐶
Thanks so much! This video saved the day for me.
You dropped this, my king 👑
Gosh, you just saved my life!!
I was having a major panic attack 😂
Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!
Worked like a Charm! Thanks!!
Glad it helped!
Ty, in my case I simply forgot that I did some clean folder hierarchy including those missing ones ;)
Well... you saved me probably an hour or more of linking to a kitbash texture folder I moved so thank you
This helped! Thank you!
Yooo!
Tysm!!
U saved my life!!!!
I hope u get big one day :D
Glad I could help!
Thank you for making this! It was very helpful to import the textures for a Kiryu model (Godzilla 2002-2003 character) I found from MMDCharizard (I am aware this is oddly specific, but it was the situation this applied to). So again, thank you.
This was really helpful, thanks a bunch
Glad it was helpful!
HAHA THANKS MAN. Funny thing, this is the exact same kitbash I purchased and faced the issue. Again, I appreciate the fix.
LOL - that's why I made the video in the first place :)
Nice, that instantly solved the Problem. Thanks!!
Super helpful! Thank you✊✊
This is so useful, thank you so much man!
That's a great tip. Thank you.
