Time for action — cleaning up the model in Blender
Open Blender and delete the cube using the X key and press the OK button in the pop-up menu. Go to File | Import | Collada (.dae) as seen in the following screenshot:
If you can't see the model in Blender, perform the following steps:
- Open up the View Properties panel from the 3D view, or press the N Key.
- Initially, the main parameter to be changed is in View | Clip End. The correct value is:
1000 (unit system)or25,4 (metric)or27,77 yd (imperial):
- Scale the object using the S key, and center the axis on it:
- Save the ship as a blend file, pressing File | Save As. Then, press the Save As Blender file button.
We will now attempt to design our main character: the whale.
- Search for
killer whalein a search box on the Web:
- Click on the image titled Animals - Killer Whale by mandun, and the browser will open a new page. Click on the Download button, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Open Blender and press the X key to delete the cube. Choose File | import | Collada (.dae), and select
killerwhale.daefrom your specific folder, if you previously exported it to thecolladafile. Repeat the steps we performed for the ship.
What just happened?
Getting 3D models with other types of extensions requires us to reset them and clean them so we can use them as Blend files. For this, we will import the model as explained previously. We have reduced the model, focused its axis, and taken everything that is not relevant for our model.
Pop quiz — importing other files into Blender
- To add a 3D object library I need to:
- Open the file
- Import the file
- Export the file
- To save a 3D object I need to:
- Close the program
- Close the original file
- Save the file
- To clean the object, we must scale the model and set the axis in the:
- Geometry to origin
- Origin to geometry
- Origin to the 3D cursor
Have a go hero—growing the library
When you have a good library, try to import all models to the 3D view, and move and anchor each object on the scene. You will get a first impression of what your game looks like without any moving objects.
Remember that it is not necessary to find the exact model you need. Maybe some models closely resemble the model that you need. Perhaps, with simple modifications, your character can be ready. In the next paragraph, we will learn how to create a new model, but the tools we will use will be the same, as if you used a model from your own library.
