@threepipe/plugin-blend-importer

Exports BlendImporterPlugin which adds support for loading .blend files.

It uses js.blend for parsing blend file structure.

::: warning Note This is still a WIP. :::

Currently working: Mesh, BufferGeometry and basic PointLight. To be added: PhysicalMaterial, UnlitMaterial (similar to blender-gltf-io plugin)

Example — Source Code — API Reference

npm install @threepipe/plugin-blend-importer

import {ThreeViewer} from 'threepipe'
import {BlendLoadPlugin} from '@threepipe/plugin-blend-importer'

const viewer = new ThreeViewer({...})
viewer.addPluginSync(BlendLoadPlugin)

// Now load any .blend file.
const model = await viewer.load<IObject3D>('path/to/file.blend')

// To load the file as a data url, use the correct mimetype
const model1 = await viewer.load<IObject3D>('data:application/x-blender;base64,...')
