Asset Browser and exports

Use the glasses without the Addon, from Blender's Asset Browser or as FBX and OBJ files in other programs.

These files give you the glass meshes and materials only. Drinks, effects and quality switching need the Addon.

Blender’s Asset Browser

Section titled “Blender’s Asset Browser”

GlassWareLibrary.blend holds every glass as an asset. Handy for background glasses you just want to drag in.

  1. Put GlassWareLibrary.blend in a folder you will keep.
  2. In Edit › Preferences › File Paths › Asset Libraries, click + and choose that folder.
  3. Switch any editor to Asset Browser and pick the library at the top left.

Empty list? Blender was given the file instead of its folder. Reopen the Asset Browser after changing the path.

FBX and OBJ

Section titled “FBX and OBJ”

Import the file for the quality tier you need.

  • Real-world size in centimeters, with UVs.
  • Game Ready meshes are watertight and come with normal maps.
  • No colliders or liquid shapes.

Missing textures? Point the image nodes at the download’s texture folder. Glass shaders do not transfer between programs, so rebuild the glass material in your renderer.
