Hi Three.js community.  
First, I’m an Instructional Designer by day, so my project is mainly using example code as I’m not a developer 🙂  
I’m trying to set up a simple scene utilizing the FBX loader and the TGALoader. I believe the materials are being turned into blobs but receiving a 404. Everything is local on my server so not sure if it’s an HTTP issue.

Here is a link to what I have so far [http://rob.mega1meyers.com/3dtest/](http://rob.mega1meyers.com/3dtest/)

And here is the gist [FBX and TGA Loader utilizing Three.js · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/mega1meyers/e47dca9136d08a281df7fc7077206d79)

Is there something basic I am missing?

A 404 simply means that there is nothing at that address. The URL that you’re trying to fetch from: [http://rob.mega1meyers.com/3dtest/models/blob:http://rob.mega1meyers.com/30c91c40-262c-4635-a4f7-4df1f0668681](http://rob.mega1meyers.com/3dtest/models/blob:http://rob.mega1meyers.com/30c91c40-262c-4635-a4f7-4df1f0668681) contains nothing. This has nothing to do with Three.js, you just have to find the correct URL where your assets are located.

@marquizzo I double checked my TGA several times before posting. The file is indeed on my server here [http://rob.mega1meyers.com/3dtest/models/VOMcolor.tga](http://rob.mega1meyers.com/3dtest/models/VOMcolor.tga)  
Am I not pulling they file correctly in my JavaScript?

```
					var tgaloader = new THREE.TGALoader();

					// load a resource
					var texture = tgaloader.load(
						'models/VOMcolor.tga'					
					);
```

I have the fbx model in the same directory and it’s rendering correctly

```
// model
			var loader = new THREE.FBXLoader();
			loader.load( 'models/VOM.fbx', function ( object ) {scene.add( object );
			}, undefined, function (e){
				console.error(e);
			};		

```

One of the reasons why I’m really confused on why this isn’t working.

I have created a quick live example to show that `TGALoader` can actually load your texture:

Have you taken a look at your Network Tab in the browser’s developer tools? It looks like your `VOMcolor.tga` and `VOM.fbx` files are loading correctly, but then there are a few `404`s happening after that. Are there any additional assets you’re trying to load? Is your `.fbx` file referencing other textures that aren’t available?

Good catch!  
Considering TGAs are more complex let me get with my 3D artist and we may try with a .png for texture. This is assuming the TGALoader can apply a .png to a FBX model. I’ll report back if that works.
