I have a .FBX file with textures. Everytime i try to load that file it gives me this error

```
 `THREE.FBXLoader: FBX binary version: 7400`

**code:**

```
        var loader = new FBXLoader();
        	loader.load( 'fbxModel/model.FBX', function ( object ) {
        		scene.add( object );
        	} );
```

Can you please share the FBX file (with the texture)?

I have asked for permission to share the file, till then what is observed is in the FBXLoader code, after adding debugger,  
**examples/jsm/FBXLoader.js** line **627** ,

```
    case 'DiffuseColor':
          case 'Maya|TEX_color_map':
            parameters.map = scope.getTexture(textureMap, child.ID);
            parameters.map.encoding = sRGBEncoding;
            break;

```

my FBX file is not layeredTextured and  
**parameters.map** is getting undefined and thus this line **parameters.map.encoding = sRGBEncoding;** is breaking.  
by any chance can u guys tell, what must be missing in fbx file???

Well, for some reasons the loader is not able to find a texture for the given ID. Things might get more clear if it’s possible to inspect the FBX.
