| Blender 3D Data Format | The Blender Foundation | 3D Image Files |
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.
Uses for.BLEND Files
A .BLEND file can be used for many purposes such as creating realistic 3D images for function displays or games, film animation and special effects, interactive 3D applications such as virtual reality simulations and more. The .BLEND file format is also quite popular among artist communities that use it to upload their designs and models which can be used in video games or art projects.
Compatibility with Other Softwares and Formats
Blender 3D can read files from several other applications besides.BLEND files like 3DS Max's .3DS, Houdini's .HDI, Autodesk Maya's .MA, Cheetah's CH3D, etc. It can also export projects to various other formats including Native Format Exchange ( NXF) and 3D printable (.STL) objects. BLEND (Blender 3D Data File) files also work with Unity 3D, Autodesk Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D, etc.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BLEND) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BLEND extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BLEND file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BLEND extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BLEND extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BLEND file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BLEND file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BLEND file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BLEND file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BLEND file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
