Create 3D Models with Blender

Geometry can be created and exported with Blender, in .obj format with limited Material (.mtl) support.

Tested with Blender v3.4.1.

Here is a basic workflow, some Blender knowledge is required.

Select all desired meshes and export them with the Wavefront (.obj) exporter using the recommended settings below.

• Limit to: Selected Only
• Forward Axis: -Z (maps Blender's Forward axis Y to the typical GL Forward -Z)
• Up Axis: Y (maps Blender's Up axis Z to the typical GL Up Y)
• Objects: Apply Modifiers
• Geometry: Export UV Coordinates, Normals and make the Mesh Triangulated
• Materials: Export

The generic Principled BSDF shader has an impact on the exported materials in the .mtl file. If you want to use it, apply this shader to your meshes.

• Principled BSDF Base Color is exported as Kd (diffuse color) into the materials (.mtl)
  • The Base Color in the example shader below causes this Kd entry in the exported material: Kd 0.102684 0.235477 1.000000

See Object (.obj) and Material (.mtl) support on how this information can be used in yourgame.
