Godot supports the following 3D *scene file formats*:

|
-* DAE (COLLADA), which is currently the most mature workflow.

|
+* DAE (COLLADA), an older format that is fully supported.
|
|
|
* OBJ (Wavefront) formats. It is also fully supported, but pretty limited (no support for pivots, skeletons, etc).
|
|
|
* ESCN, a Godot specific format that Blender can export with a plugin.
|
|
|
+* FBX, supported via the Open Asset Import library. However, FBX is proprietary so we recommend using other formats

Just copy the scene file together with the texture to the project repository, and Godot will do a full import.

|
|
|

It is important that the mesh is not deformed by bones when exporting. Make sure that the skeleton is reset to its T-pose
|
|
|
or default rest pose before exporting with your favorite 3D editor.

-Most game engines use the FBX format for importing 3D scenes, which is
|
|
|
-definitely one of the most standardized in the industry. However, this
|
|
|
-format requires the use of a closed library from Autodesk, which is
|
|
|
-distributed with more restrictive licensing terms than Godot.

|
|
|
-The plan is, sometime in the future, to offer a binary plug-in using GDNative.
