  3. Obtain the Add-On Code: Download the necessary add-on code, which will facilitate the animation import process smoothly. The link to access the add-on code will be provided in the description.

Setting up the Blender Environment

Now, let's dive into setting up Blender for the animation import:

  • Begin by creating a new text document and naming it appropriately. For example, "Roblox Blender Add-on."
  • Change the extension type to ".PY" to signify a Python file, which is crucial for the import process.
  • Copy the code, paste it into your preferred editor (e.g., VS Code), and save the file.

Configuring the Roblox Environment

To proceed with the import, you need to ensure your Roblox setup aligns with the import requirements:

  • Install the add-on file in Blender by navigating to User Preferences > Add-ons > Install Add-On from File.
  • Select the add-on file and activate it. You should see it listed in your add-ons once installed successfully.

Exporting and Importing Animations

Here's a breakdown of the steps involved in exporting and importing animations:

  1. Prepare Your Rig:

    • Ensure your block rig is appropriately positioned and rotated (180 degrees) in Blender.
    • Test the rig to verify that animations align correctly with the base plate.
  2. Exporting the Rig:

    • Select your rig in Blender and export it as an OBJ or FBX file to your desired location.
  3. Uploading the Model to Roblox:

    • Upload the exported rig to Roblox and test the animations within the platform.
  4. Refining Animations:
