You asked: What kind of files can blender open?

Luckily, Blender offers a wide range of file formats (e.g. OBJ, FBX, 3DS, PLY, STL, etc.) that can be used to import and export. Popular formats are enabled by default, other formats are also supported and distributed with Blender, these can be enabled in the Preferences through the use of Add-ons.

Can Blender open TIF files?

Blender can use tiff images, not sure if geotiff works to but it should work too. Otherwise you had to convert the geotiff to a png or jpg first. Add a plane (same aspect ratio like your image). Go to the modifier tab and add a Subdivision Surface modifier.

Can Blender open model files?

Blender is a free, open-source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline: modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, and video editing and game creation.

What 3D files does Blender use?

The software supports a variety of 3D file formats for import and export, among them Alembic, 3D Studio (3DS), Filmbox (FBX), Autodesk (DXF), SVG, STL (for 3D printing), UDIM, USD, VRML, WebM, X3D and Obj.

What is the best file type for Blender?

OBJ is generally regarded as a more modern and advanced file format, it is well supported in most 3D packages (in case you need to open it elsewhere in the future) and also supports the most features compared to 3Ds which is more basic and limited, so I’d say OBJ is likely the best from the bunch.

Does Blender support JPEG?

In Blender, this now is written in floats too, denoting the exact distance from the camera. On rendering animations (or single frames via command line), Blender saves the same image also as a JPEG, for quick preview or download.

Can Blender open FBX files?

Blender is lack of native FBX support, when we import some older and newer FBX files, it often fails. So I made a better FBX importer and exporter with official FBX SDK from scratch. The add-on is compatible with all FBX versions, from ASCII to binary, from FBX 5.3 to FBX 2020.

What is the difference between OBJ and FBX?

OBJ is much simpler format that only keeps geometry (vertex, normals, etc) and uv data. FBX is much more advanced format that can hold much more data – models, uv data, joints, skinning information, animations, multiple takes of animation in one file, curves, and even embed texture files.

Can Blender import .MAX files?

To get models into blender use an interchange format such as Obj, Collada or FBX. If you only have the . max file and no access to 3DS Max, then yes, there’s no way to import it into blender, just like there’s no way to import a . blend file into Max, or a .
