Exporting models from 3D software
in JSON
In our code, we strictly follow the three.js JSON 3.1 format (
https://github.com/
mrdoob/three.js/wiki/JSON-Model-format-3.1
). Hence, we can directly use
three.js
exporters to load 3D objects in our code.
Our code only handles models with a single material/texture
file. Hence, if you use the code directly, make sure that you
create models with a single texture.
Exporting from Blender
We can download the Blender add-on from here
https://github.com/mrdoob/
three.js/tree/master/utils/exporters/blender/2.65
. We can install it in
Blender using following simple steps:
1.
Copy the add-on to the following path:
° Windows:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender
Foundation\Blender\2.6X\scripts\addons
° Mac:
/Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/
MacOS/2.6X/scripts/addons
° Linux:
/home/USERNAME/.config/blender/2.6X/scripts/addons
2.
In Blender preferences, in add-ons, look for option three.
3.
Enable the checkbox next to
Import-Export: three.js format
.
Now, you can use the
Export
menu to export the JSON file.
