Blender 2.82 not exporting texture?

[friedgella]

Does anyone have a tutorial on texturing objects in blender 2.8 and getting the textures to appear in SL viewer? Blender 2.8 got rid of Blender Render which most older tutorials referenced, and the Collada export options also appear a little different. 

I only have one UV map for the whole mesh and one material for the whole mesh.

Reimporting the .dae into blender shows that textures normally. But uploading to SLViewer return these messages:

Instructions for Blender 2.82

Listen me and i solve your problem. When you think you have inserted the right textures to your object.

File/Export/Collada DAE

In the export window select the right-top gear button and in Texture options select the voices "Only selected UV Map" and "Copy". Export the DAE file. After that, export UV Map Texture and open Second Life.

In Second life import dae (Deselect checkbox "Include Texture" in Loading Option) after this import image (10LS). Spawn your Object in the Scene and change Texture Option.

Hello, I know this is an old thread. I am using Blender 2.9 now. You said to "export UV Map Texture" did you mean click on "image" and "Save a Copy" of the image? Where is the export UV Map Texture?   

[Aquila Kytori]

When exporting to Collada, top right hand corner of the export window is a little gear icon which opens the export options. See screen-shots below :

 

The "Copy" option will save a copy of the image texture into the same folder as you are saving the Collada file.

 

In the SL mesh Uploader put a check against the Include Textures option.

The Textures will now add $L10 to the upload cost.
