Exporting Emissive materials to FBX or OBJ

Rendering
1

Hello, I do not know if there ever was one topic like this so I decided to create it maybe somebody could help me or have found themselves with a similar concern.

I want to export a model with one or several gemotries assigned with an emissive material - in order for it to be seen in the preview on a platform like seemymodel.com or simillar. However when I do this those “lights” or emissive materials seem to be dimmes and do not emit any light at all. I have exported to FBX and OBJ.

Is there a solution to this kind of problem or maybe I am doing something wrong?

I would greatly apperciate any help in that matter.

Hi @Wojciech_Biegus
I think this completely depends on the service you are using and what kind of materials/maps they use. I know that sketchfab.com let’s you define emmissive materials by UV map, as seen eg. here. My best advice would be to contact the platform you want to use and ask them.
