Issue with Missing Textures in Blender Project File from Video Tutorial

[VladK]

Hi,

I downloaded the project file from the video ( Blender Smoke Advection Wool Yarns ), but I noticed that the textures aren’t appearing in render mode. I also discovered that studio_small_08_1k.exr was missing, so I downloaded it from Polygon. Are there any other files or steps I might be missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is what I see in render mode

Here is the original video with the result

Seems like the video maker didn’t pack their textures. You’ll have to reach out to them

Here is the file at that link

Studio Small 08 HDRI • Poly Haven

The HDRI is the only thing not included…to see the proper texture you HAVE to RENDER the image …not just Render View… so that GN has The time to run the simulation…

Got it, thanks for explaining! That makes sense—those simulations are really heavy to render.
