Blender Import into Wings Engine

1. Format Overview

1.1 Wings Engine Import Formats

Wings Engine currently supports the import of 3D model files in .glb and .gltf formats.

1.2 Differences Between GLB and GLTF

GLB Format: More compact and occupies less file space. (Recommended for small scenes)

GLTF Format: Generally larger and can contain more details and features. (Recommended for large scenes)

Tip: GLTF files have caching capabilities. If you want faster loading when reopening a project, it’s recommended to choose GLTF.

2. Introduction to Blender

The commonly used versions of Blender are 3.0, 3.3, 3.6 and 4.0. Blender can natively support exporting glb and glTF format files. This is the official download address: Download Blender
