To fix this meshes need to be rotated prior to export in Blender.ĭesign note: the orientation of a selection can be changed at export in Transform settings but not reliably.
However, because both Unity’s development environment and Blender 3D use different cardinal orientations – Z Up for Blender, Y Up for Unity – exported content is often incorrectly rotated around the wrong axis meshes that lay flat in Blender will appear standing upright for example.
Although Unity can import and work with *.blend files directly ( Blenders native file format) it’s often more useful to use *.fbx (FBX), largely because they don’t include extraneous scene data that has to be dealt with.
