BLB Importer for Blender 5 - Eagle517 - 07-24-2026
I recently updated Redo's update of the old BLB importer to work with Blender 5. Specifically it's been tested with 5.1.2 and 5.2.0 LTS. You can find it here. Here's the list of changes:
- You can now import simple bricks.
- The importer now just includes the few texture files that are necessary rather than blindly searching for them in your Documents folder. It'll still check there first, but it'll use the included ones as a fallback. I should probably add an import option so you can specify your Blockland directory yourself.
- The "Shadeless materials" option is now off by default.
- The "Front axis" option was added back, with Y+ being the default axis.
There's a few minor clean-up details. I believe the material nodes could be done better, and the shadeless materials may not be ideal. I don't want to withhold the tool though if it's basically working, in case it takes me a while to get it cleaned up.
I think it'd be cool if I can get BLS support added in at some point.
