Installing the FreeCAD software on your computer into the default directory will enable support for additional formats, particularly various CAD Files. If you have another common location that you know Blender installs to please open a GitHub Issue to suggest its addition. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NeosVR\Tools\Blender.

If that doesn't work you can also install Blender to the Tools folder of your Neos Installation. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Blender.For this to work Neos needs to be able to find the Blender installation you are using.īy default Neos will search the following directories to try and find a Blender installation: blend files, as Neos will use Blender to export the file into GLB in the background, rather than use Assimp's limited support for the file format. Installing Blender will improve the support for importing. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC/Step) (.fbx ) - Must be FBX 2011, 2012 or 2013, newer ones won't work Level of support for individual formats might vary. These are the 3D formats supported by the Assimp library. Specular/Metallic map's alpha channel maps to smoothness (inverse roughness)


Supported file formats for 3D model import will show up in the file browser as light yellow. Once the import is complete, the imported object isn't dependent on the source file anymore and exists as any other Neos object. The job of the importer is to read the input format and translate it into Neos' native MeshX format for representing mesh data, extract any textures, create and setup appropriate materials, setup the object hierarchy and any other components needed to represent the data from the format. It is also possible to write your own importer or extend the one provided with Neos using scripting and external programs using Neos's libraries. Extra formats can be supported by installing 3rd party software on your computer. The provided importer is based on the opensource Assimp library and supports wide variety of 3D formats. Importing 3D models is a great way to get existing content into Neos, whether it's for building environments, objects, avatars or simply for visualizing them.
