blender-interchange

Typed import/export tools for Blender scene interchange. Load this skill when a workflow needs asset import (FBX, OBJ, USD), GLTF/USD/Alembic export, or batch export. Existing blender-geometry exposes FBX/OBJ export names and delegates to the same implementation.

Tools

Tool	Category	Description
import_file	Import	Import FBX or OBJ files with format auto-detection
import_fbx	Import	Import FBX files with Blender's FBX importer
import_obj	Import	Import OBJ files with Blender's OBJ importer
import_usd	Import	Import USD files (.usd/.usda/.usdc/.usdz) with typed options — meshes, materials, cameras, lights, textures
export_gltf	Export	Export to GLTF/GLB for game engines and web
export_usd	Export	Export to USD for pipeline interchange
export_alembic	Export	Export to Alembic with optional frame range
batch_export	Export	Run multiple exports with optional preset

Prefer blender-export-preset for reusable export settings, blender-shot-export for camera/shot metadata, and blender-scripting only after checking typed interchange tools.
