How do I export as an FBX with colors? Disclaimer:  I am not an artist.

I created a model in blender.  I switched my mode to "Texture Paint".  I painted the model.  When I export as an FBX or switch back to "Object Mode", my paint goes away.  I am opening my FBX View 3D, a native Windows 3D model viewer.

Why does this happen, and how can I prevent it from happening?
Please take a look of the following image:



Please Save as image (so your edit become an external file on your drive as image) and  than add the Fake user by clicking the F button as high lighted.

I hope it will help :) good luck!
