fbtBlend is a C++ .blend file parser from https://github.com/gamekit-developers/gamekit (available in the repository subfolder: ./Tools/FileTools/FileFormats/Blend).
Here there's a version updated to Blender 2.79 and amalgamated into two header files: fbtBlend.h and Blender.h.
Two demos are available: testConsole.cpp and testGlut.cpp (they contain build instructions for Linux and Windows).
A third demo is present in the subfolder test_skeletal_animation (build instructions are at the top of test_skeletal_animation/main.cpp).
- zlib (for Blender versions < 3.0)
- libzstd (for Blender versions >= 3.0)
testGlut.cpp and test_skeletal_animation need:
- glut (or freeglut)
- glew (Windows only)
In the 280, ..., 401 repository folders there are versions of fbtBlend.h and Blender.h updated for Blender 2.80, ..., 4.1. In the 280/tests, .../tests, 401/tests subfolders there are some test programs that should compile correctly with these versions.
Please note that:
- the files: XXX/tests/testGlut.cpp, when XXX>=280, are the same as the 2.79 version, except that all materials have been stripped, because Blender>=2.80 doesn't support "Blender Internal" materials anymore.
- the files: 3xx/tests/testGlut.cpp, when 3xx>=301, are missing, because Blender 3.1 (or newer) has removed normals from the
struct MVert, and I don't know how to retrieve them.
Of course I'll NEVER make a testGlut.cpp that can display physics-based materials... be warned!
