[FBX Exporter] Embedding of resources is not possible when exporting FBX files

Package: FBX Exporter

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project ("case_1201937-FBX-Hierarchy.zip")
2. Open the repro scene ("SampleScene")
3. In the Hierarchy tab, right-click "Group" object and select "Export To FBX"
4. Export it to any directory in the Assets folder
5. Drag the newly exported FBX file in the scene and compare it to the original

Expected results: Both FBX files have the same textures
Actual results: Newly exported FBX file has different textures

Reproducible with: 2018.4.16f1, 2019.2.19f1, 2019.3.0f5, 2020.1.0a20
Couldn't test with 2017.4 (package is not supported)
Reproducible with package versions: 2.0.1-preview.5, 3.0.0-preview.2

Workaround: Ensure unique material/texture names, or remap materials manually after the export.

  1. Resolution Note:

    We evaluated embedding textures and that comes with its own headaches when doing a round-trip.

    What we do instead as of 3.1.0-preview is that when you convert to a prefab (different from doing an FBX export), the Unity materials get kept, so the DCC gets something with mediocre reference materials -- but the Unity scene looks fine.
