    Currently, we support the following model formats: ``.fbx``, ``.obj``, ``.gltf``, and ``.dae``.

    To import other proprietary formats, you can use third-party tools like ``Blender`` or ``3ds Max`` to convert the model to ``.fbx`` or another supported format.

    We use the third-party library `Assimp <https://github.com/assimp/assimp/tree/master>`_ (`Documentation <https://the-asset-importer-lib-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_) for importing models.


.. note::
    This library has known issues with some assets or formats:

    - ``.fbx``: Animation import can produce incorrect rotation for some assets where there is a 360-degree rotation.

    - ``.dae``: Animation import for the Collada format is likely not to work at all.

    You can do this with an OS file explorer or with the file explorer in the editor.
