Hi,

Can someone help me in loading fbx file with textures embedded in it?

I have gone through the question  
([Load fbx file with textures (including images)](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/load-fbx-file-with-textures-including-images/2566))  
but i was unable to find the solution for that,

I can give my fbx file if someone needs it

Yes, please share the file here, and also the code that you are currently using to load it and any console error messages that you are getting.

Also, have you gone over the [how to run things locally](https://threejs.org/docs/#manual/en/introduction/How-to-run-things-locally) guide?

I would like to mention that fbx file is rendering in grayscale, i wanted it to render completely like colors, transparency everything,

[https://threejs.org/examples/webgl\_loader\_fbx.html](https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_loader_fbx.html)

And i am using the same code which is above to load my fbx file
