Texture issues while importing an OBJ model to Element 3D in After Effects
Hi guys, my first post here.
The thing is that I have downloaded a free dragon 3D model (GLB file) from Sketchfab, opened correctly in Blender with its texture and modified its animation to achieve the flying loop I wanted.
Then, I exported the model as an OBJ with the “animation” box checked.
Once I import it into Element 3D, the texture is missing and when I try to manually link it’s messed up.
I tried to play with the UV Offset settings from UV Mapping, but it did not work at all.
Can anyone help me out?
And there is also another weird thing. When I look at the dragon from below, part of his wings became invisible. Why is that?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.

I think the main cause of vanishing polygons in E3D is an inverted normal. You’ll have to turn on a view of normals in your 3D application and invert the normals on the errant polys before bringing the OBJ back into Element.
