Prepare Your Models

Seahaven uses Blender (.blend) files for the 3D asset population, and there are a few steps of preparation to ensure your model will work effectively in your simulation.

Blender is a free download available through the Blender Foundation.

• Remove everything from the scene except the 3D asset and any materials you will be packing into the file.

• Purge any orphan data from the scene. This unused data can interfere with cameras, lighting, and many other parts of the simulation.

• To purge orphan data navigate to display mode, select orphan data. Then select purge.
