Exporting GLTF Models from Blender to Panda3D

What You Will Learn?

• About This Class.
• In this class we’ll learn how to export models that you create in Blender to the GLTF format. Although Panda3D’s native file format for models is EGG, you can also use other formats. The GLTF format seems particularly convenient if you want to export your models from Blender to Panda3D or other game engines. It’s supported by Blender out of the box and you don’t need any add-ons, as is the case with the EGG format..
• What Are You Going To Learn? .
• This is a class for intermediate students. You’re going to learn how to export your model from Blender for use in other software. In particular, you’re going to learn the following:.
• The lessons are short and clear, very easy to follow. You will learn how to use Blender to prepare your models to be used in Panda3D. I hope you will like the way the content is presented..
• Who Is the Class for?.
• As I just mentioned, the class is for intermediate students, so you should have some basic knowledge of Blender, but this will do. The content is presented in such a way that you should have no difficulty following it even if you’re familiar with just the basics. In particular, you should know how to use the basic tools to navigate in the Blender 3D viewport and also, which you will need for your class project, how to texture your model..
• What You Will Need to Take This Class.
• To take this class you need the model that you want to export. You can use your own model or the model of a UFO that I provide for you in the Project folder attached to the class project. The model should be textured..
• If you want to learn how to model the UFO yourself, I have a class on that. It’s called A UFO Model in Blender and it will teach you the basics of modeling in Blender. If you want to learn how to bake a texture from your materials in Blender, I have a class on that too. This one is called Baking Textures from Materials in Blender..
