fbtBlend-Header-Only

fbtBlend is a C++ .blend file parser from https://github.com/gamekit-developers/gamekit (available in the repository subfolder: /tree/master/Tools/FileTools).

Here there's a version updated to Blender 2.79 and amalgamated into two header files: fbtBlend.h and Blender.h.

Demos

Two demos are available: testConsole.cpp and testGlut.cpp (they contain build instructions for Linux and Windows).

A third demo is present in the subfolder test_skeletal_animation (build instructions are at the top of test_skeletal_animation/main.cpp).

Dependencies (recommended, to load compressed .blend files)

• zlib (for Blender versions < 3.0)
• libzstd (for Blender versions >= 3.0)

testGlut.cpp and test_skeletal_animation need:

• glut (or freeglut)
• glew (Windows only)

Blender 2.80, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83_LTS, 2.90, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93_LTS, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 versions

In the 280, 281, 282, 283_LTS, 290, 291, 292, 293_LTS, 300, 310 and 320 repository folders there are versions of fbtBlend.h and Blender.h updated for Blender 2.80, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83_LTS 2.90, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93_LTS, 3.0, 3.1 and Blender 3.2 In the 280/tests, 281/tests, 282/tests, 283_LTS/tests, 290/tests, 291/tests, 292/tests, 293_LTS/tests, 300/tests, 310/tests and 320/tests subfolders there are some test programs that should compile correctly with these versions. Please note that 280/tests/testGlut.cpp, 281/tests/testGlut.cpp, 282/tests/testGlut.cpp, 283_LTS/tests/testGlut.cpp, 290/tests/testGlut.cpp, 291/tests/testGlut.cpp, 292/tests/testGlut.cpp, 293_LTS/tests/testGlut.cpp and 300/tests/testGlut.cpp are the same as the 2.79 version, except that all materials have been stripped, because Blender>=2.80 doesn't support "Blender Internal" materials anymore. Furthermore 3xx/tests/testGlut.cpp is not present for Blender>=3.1, because Blender 3.1 has removed normals from the struct MVert, and I don't know how to retrieve them. Of course I'll NEVER make a testGlut.cpp that can display physics-based materials... be warned!
