Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model MTL Files to BLEND

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or MTL (OBJ Material File) model files to a standard BLEND (Blender) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple MTL files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your MTL file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a BLEND file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the MTL to BLEND conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

An MTL (material) file is most commonly associated with the 3D model format OBJ and is used by the OBJ file format as a means to store material information related to the OBJ model. This material information may also include textures, which are typically stored in separate image files.

The information is stored within the MTL file as plain text, making it easy to read and modify by hand. An MTL file does not have much use without the accompanying OBJ file; however, it can be used with our range of MTL converters to convert the materials into other 3D formats that also support materials such as FBX.

MTL Notes

Due to their nature in that they only store material data, BLEND files, when imported, our tools will create some sample 3D geometry and apply the materials found within the BLEND file to this geometry.

Description

The BLEND file type is the native 3D graphics file format of the 3D modeling application Blender. Originally released in 1994, Blender has grown over the years and is one of the most popular 3D applications available.

BLEND files store 3D content such as 3D geometry, vertices, faces, normals, animations, materials, and much more. Blender is free and open-source, contains many features you would expect in a high-end 3D editing application, and is available for most current operating systems.

BLEND Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final BLEND file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What version of Blender will the file be saved as?

Our tool will save all Blender files that can be opened with version 4.2 of Blender.

How long does it take to convert my MTL to BLEND?

We aim to process all MTL to BLEND conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the MTL to BLEND conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my MTL to BLEND on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the MTL file you submit to us. The resulting BLEND file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the MTL to BLEND converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your MTL file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted BLEND file quickly.

Can I convert my MTL to BLEND on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our MTL to BLEND tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our MTL conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my MTL to BLEND?

Yes. When you have converted your MTL to BLEND, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
