How to create .blend models by script

Question

Hi.

I'd really like to know how to add my model from a .blend file into the scene, programmatically.

If you were to create a cube by script, it would be something like :

 GameObject cube = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);

Is there a way to do the same thing with .blend models?

Sure... Here's how you do it:

1) Bring your Blender model into Unity

2) Drag your model onto the hierarchy. This turns it into a GameObject. Here you can adjust materials, add other behaviors, etc. like any other GameObject.

3) Drag your item from the Hierarchy back into the Project window. This creates a prefab (Basically a save file of that GameObject). Now that it's saved, you can delete the one in the hierarchy.

4) Create a script, something like this:

 public GameObject MyPrefabToSpawn;
 
 private void Awake() {
     var myInstance = Instantiate<GameObject>(MyPrefabToSpawn);
 }

5) Attach the script like any other, drag/drop your prefab into the "MyPrefabToSpawn" field, and hit Run.
