So you want to import 3D assets into Godot?

Let’s do it! In this mega guide, we’ll be importing models, their materials, textures AND animations. We’ll be using 2 free amazing open-source packages - Blender and Godot.

What 3D formats does Godot support, I hear you ask. It supports:

DAE (Collada) GLTF 2.0 OBJ

In this guide, we will focus on .dae as it is fully supported and the most mature format.

You might be wondering, where is FBX importing? Unfortunately, FBX is a proprietary format owned by Autodesk and not something available to us with Godot. No problem, .dae will do the trick.

Blender, Maya and 3DS Max all have built-in Collada exporting but unfortunately, it’s broken for our purposes. For Maya and 3DS Max, you can use OpenCollada plugins.
