Description

Discussed in https://github.com/stride3d/stride/discussions/2025

Originally posted by Schwert1602 November 3, 2023
Hello,

I'm new to stride and I am trying to import a rigged 3d model from Blender to stride. When I import it as blender file, I constantly get this error message:

`Error: Assimp: Constructing BlenderDNA Structure encountered an error: BlendDNA: Did not find a field named `no` in structure `MVert`
Info: Nothing to import.`

I can't export and import it as fbx file because the 3d model consist of multiple objects which I want to stay separate (stride imports them as a single model).

So, is there a way to import .blend files directly? If not, is there another way to import 3d models out of multiple objects with textures from blender to stride?

Update 11/14/2023:

Hello again,

I tried different Blender Files, different projects and different PC and it didn't work for any combination. I searched for tutorials but I found nothing really helpful. I don't know what I should (or could) do else. I have a very limited knowledge about how stride itself works but because nobody answered I assume that it's a bug and not a mistake I did so I opened this discussion as issue

Research direction

Start with the linked discussion and reproduce the reported Blender import failure containing the Assimp BlendDNA/MVert error. Trace the existing Blender import path to identify whether the failing format is supported; done means the reported model imports successfully or the supported multi-object workflow is clearly established.
