- Step 5: A pop-up window will appear. Select the desired save location and click the “Export” button to save the 3D file in either OBJ or USD format.
Exporting 3D Models from Forger
If you created a 3D model in Forger and want to import it into Procreate, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Open Forger on your iPad and select the 3D model you want to export.
- Step 2: Tap on the export icon located in the upper left corner of the Forger app.
- Step 3: In the export options menu, choose the “3D Model” option.
- Step 4: Select either the USD or OBJ file format and click the “Export” button.

Questions People Might Have
- Q: How do I open the exported 3D models in Procreate?
A: After exporting your 3D model in either OBJ or USD format, you can import it into Procreate by selecting the “File” option in Procreate and choosing the imported file from your iPad’s file system. - Q: Can I edit the 3D model in Procreate?
A: Procreate allows you to paint on the 3D model surface but does not offer extensive 3D modeling capabilities. For advanced 3D editing, it is recommended to use dedicated 3D modeling software like Blender or Forger.
Additional Tips and Information
In recent updates, Procreate introduced 3D painting, allowing users to directly paint on imported 3D models. This feature opens up new possibilities for artists who prefer working on their iPad. Make sure to keep your iPad and Procreate updated to access the latest features and improvements.
Remember to save your exported 3D models in a location that is easily accessible on your iPad. You can use cloud storage platforms like iCloud or save files locally using the “Save to Files” option. This ensures that your 3D models are readily available for import into Procreate.
We hope this guide has helped you understand how to export 3D models from Blender and Forger to Procreate. Now it’s time for you to unleash your creativity and bring your 3D models to life in Procreate. Happy painting!
