To convert a Blender 3D model into an FBX model for use in Unity, follow these steps:
- Locate and download the free pumpkin and candlesBlender models from TurboSquid at https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-pumpkins-candles-model-1484325.
- Open the Blender file in the Blender application. You'll see that there are four main objects – some flames and candles and a glass jar. For this recipe, we only want the pumpkin with the face and its lid. Keep Plane.003 and Plane.011, and then right-click to delete the other objects. Rename Plane.003 to Pumpkin by right-clicking the menu and going to ID Data | Rename. Then, rename Plane.011 to Pumpkin-lid:

- Now, go to File, choose Export, and select the FBX (.fbx) format. Save the exported model as pumpkin. You can now quit the Blender application:
