Free Online DAE to BLEND Converter

Here is our free to use DAE to BLEND 3D model converter tool that will take your DAE file and convert it to the BLEND format ready for loading into your favourite 3D modeling package. If you have any external texture files, these can be selected along with your DAE file and our tool will automatically handle converting these. Our 3D model converter supports batch processing of your files and can convert up to 20 DAE files at one time.

Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.

Please note: Your DAE file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted DAE file file before this time.

The DAE to BLEND model conversion tool will analyse your DAE file and convert its 3D mesh data including vertices, surfaces and where applicable vector normals and texture coordinates to the BLEND format whilst maintaining the structural accuracy of your original DAE 3D model file.

File information for DAE and BLEND

FormatText

The Khronos Group created the DAE file, a 3D model file format. The format is an XML text-based format, storing the 3D model information in a standardized XML structure, ensuring it is easy to add additional features without introducing compatibility issues.

Many 3D editing applications support the importing and exporting of DAE files, including the popular 3D editor Blender.

Mesh Geometry

DAE files support mesh geometry along with various types of surface definitions, from simple triangles to full polygon meshes. It has support for face and vertex normals and texture coordinates too. Mesh elements defined within the XML structure can be shared between multiple 3D objects within the final rendered scene.

DAE Converter Capabilities

As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the DAE format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

The BLEND format is the native 3D model file format used by the ever-popular 3D modeling application Blender. Blender has been around since the 1990s, and it has grown steadily over the years, adding new features with each passing version.

The current version of Blender has many powerful features, is very popular with many budding 3D designers, and is the go-to application for videogame, animation, and film artists.

Mesh Geometry

The BLEND file format is a mesh-based format, meaning the 3D models created within Blender are stored in the form of 3D meshes composed of vertices and faces. Along with 3D object geometry, Blender supports the creation of animations, and this too is included in the BLEND file.
