Broken: version: 2.92.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-10-27 14:27, hash: blender/blender@90e12e823f

Short description of error
I have a textured mesh using a material not using principled shader, instead it uses a diffuse node, but the textures are not exported.
I could change the material setup to use principled shader manually, is there an automatic way to convert diffuse and glosy materials to principled?

Textures_not_exported_to_fbx.blend

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open the attached .blend file in Blender.
Click the menu entry: "File --> Export --> FBX (.fbx)"
Import in blender the generated fbx file, it is shown without texture.

Thanks in advance!

I have found more information in the console, the traces of the FBX exporter say:

	    FBX export prepare: Wrapping Textures...
	    NO NODES!
		    Done (0.000219 sec)

Thank you for your report. This is a known limitation and documented in Blender's manual . Only the Principled BSDF is supported for the purpose of exporting a material.

Aah, thank you very much for your quick response. Robert!!

Ok, I will try to convert these materials to principled shader, thanks a lot.
