.MESH (Godot Engine 3D Mesh File) - File Extension

What is a MESH file?

A MESH file is a 3D model file that is used in the Godot Engine, which is an open-source game engine used for creating 2D and 3D games. The MESH file format is used to store 3D geometry and is typically used to store 3D models of objects, characters, and environments in a game.

It can contain information such as the vertices, faces, and edges of the 3D model, as well as texture and material information. In Godot, MESH files can be imported and used to create 3D objects in a game scene.

MESH files can be created in Godot by importing an OBJ file, which is a 3D model file format that is commonly used in 3D graphics software. When you import an OBJ file into Godot, the engine will convert the OBJ file into a MESH file, which can then be used in your game.

You can also create MESH files from scratch in Godot by using the built-in 3D modeling tools to create your own 3D models. Once you have created a MESH file, you can use it to create 3D objects in your game scene and customize their appearance and behavior using the Godot Engine.

How to open a MESH file

To open a MESH file, you will need to use a software application that is compatible with the MESH file format. One option is to use the Godot Engine, which is the software application that was originally used to create the MESH file. You can open a MESH file in Godot by following these steps:

1. Download and install the Godot Engine on your computer.
2. Open the Godot Engine and create a new project.
3. In the project window, click on the “Import” button.
4. In the import window, navigate to the location of the MESH file on your computer and select it.
5. Click on the “Open” button to import the MESH file into your Godot project.

Once the MESH file has been imported into Godot, you can use the built-in 3D modeling tools to view and edit the contents of the file. You can also use the Godot Engine to create a game using the MESH file as a 3D model in your game scene.

More information

Godot Engine can import a variety of 3D model file formats, including OBJ, DAE, GLTF, and GLB. When you import an OBJ file into Godot, the engine will convert it into a MESH file, which can then be used in your game. However, when you import a DAE, GLTF, or GLB file into Godot, the engine will create an SCN file, which is a scene file that contains information about the objects and resources in your game.

It’s worth noting that the MESH file format is specific to the Godot Engine and is not a widely used file format outside of the engine. OBJ, DAE, GLTF, and GLB, on the other hand, are more widely used file formats that can be used in a variety of 3D graphics software.
