00:00Importing a 3D object into Blender is straightforward, but the exact steps depend slightly on the file format, like .obj,
00:07.fbx, .gale-tf, or .steel.
00:09Here is your step-by-step guide to bringing a 3D model into your scene.
00:14Open Blender and start a general file, or open the project where you want to add the object.
00:20Navigate to the Import menu by clicking File in the top left corner of the screen, hovering over Import, and
00:25the side menu will pop up showing all supported 3D formats.
00:28Select your file format from the list based on the extension of your 3D model, Wavefront, .obj, for standard .obj
00:35files, fbx.fbx for rigged or animated models in .fbx format,
00:41gltf.gale-tfa.gill, for web-ready or modern asset formats, cl.steel, often used for 3D printing models,
00:49colada.day, alembic.abf, or others depending on your specific asset.
00:54Locate your file in the File Browser window that appears. Click through your folders to find the 3D object you
01:00want to import.
01:01Adjust Import Settings in the panel on the right side of the file browser.
01:05You can Tweet things like scale if the object imports too massive or tiny, or forward up axes if the
01:11orientation looks sideways.
01:12Click Import, for example, Import .obj or Import .fbx in the top right corner of the File Browser window.
01:19Locate and transform your object in the 3D viewport. If it doesn't appear immediately or looks out of place,
01:25press .g to move, R to rotate, and S to scale to position it nicely in your scene.
