Convert OBJ to BLEND1

Understanding OBJ and BLEND1 file formats

OBJ is a widely used 3D model file format developed by Wavefront Technologies. It stores 3D geometry, including the position of each vertex, the UV position of each texture coordinate vertex, normals, and the faces that make each polygon. OBJ files are popular for their simplicity and compatibility with many 3D graphics applications.

BLEND1 is a backup file format created by Blender, a powerful open-source 3D creation suite. When you save a project in Blender, it creates a .blend file, and previous versions are saved as .blend1, .blend2, etc. These are essentially backup copies of your Blender project at different save points.

How to convert OBJ to BLEND1

Direct conversion from OBJ to BLEND1 is not possible, as BLEND1 files are backup versions of Blender project files. However, you can import an OBJ file into Blender and then save your project, which will create a .blend file and a .blend1 backup.

Step-by-step conversion process using Blender

1. Open Blender on your computer.
2. Go to File → Import → Wavefront (.obj) and select your OBJ file.
3. Once the model is imported, go to File → Save As and save your project as a .blend file.
4. Each time you save, Blender automatically creates a .blend1 backup in the same directory.

Best software for OBJ to BLEND1 conversion

The best and most reliable software for this process is Blender. It is free, open-source, and supports both importing OBJ files and managing BLEND/BLEND1 backups seamlessly.

Summary

To convert an OBJ file to a BLEND1 file, import the OBJ into Blender and save your project. Blender will automatically generate a .blend1 backup file, ensuring your work is preserved at each save point.
