Convert OBJ to BLEND

What is OBJ file?

The OBJ (OBJ) file extension is used for an ASCII-based file format for 3D geometric models that was developed by Wavefront Technologies. It is one of the oldest and most commonly used 3D file formats today and has been adopted by various digital content creation, visualization, and animation software programs. The OBJ file format stores 3D object data in a plain text format, making it both simple to create and edit and relatively lightweight compared to other 3D file formats. [ ⏩ ] OBJ file extension

What is BLEND file?

The .BLEND file format is used to store three-dimensional graphic data in the form of a virtual environment with modeling, animating, rendering, and other advanced features present in Blender 3D software from Blender Foundation. A .BLEND file contains 3D objects, textures, lighting settings, animations, particles and other scene data as well as metadata for the model. The data is stored in various different encoded chunks that have interrelationships and are then saved into a single file. [ ⏩ ] BLEND file extension

How to convert the file from OBJ to BLEND?

To successfully convert the OBJ file to BLEND, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OBJ). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case BLEND (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than BLEND).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OBJ to BLEND. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting OBJ files to BLEND files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension BLEND, while before this step we had the OBJ file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new BLEND file, or not.
