Welcome to the asblender wiki!

ASBlender is an Actionscript 3 library to read Blender .blend files.

See blender-file-format for an explanation of the .blend format.

The .blend format contains all C-structures used, which are defined in the so called DNA. This way .blend files are fully backward compatible.
Check out the DNA of a Blender 2.48 .blend.

ASBlender simply reads these structures into AS3 Object’s.

See:

• Main.as for a simple implementation.
• PapervisionTest.as for a simple Papervision implementation.

Hello World:

• First you need the create a ByteArray by loading a .blend file or by using [Embed].
• Create a BlendFile object: var blend:BlendFile = new BlendFile();
• And read it: blend.read( theByteArray );

Now you can access the scenes contained in the .blend thru var scenes:Array = blend.scenes.
Blender can contain more then one Scene, but its likely there’s only one.
