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?

    $\begingroup$ Related - blender.stackexchange.com/questions/57531/…. As long as you saved the texture you painted on it will be accessible for setting up material, either in Blender (if for rendering) or in 3-d party application. If the latter then not much you can do in Blender except for exporting fbx and recreating material which will be using that saved texture in the 3-d party application / render engine. $\endgroup$
