what do you mean by "can't open correctly"?

[sand topaz]

Blender like cinema 4D or BlockBench can't open .bbmodel files, that's what I meant, sorry.

[warm basin]

hm what happens when you try to open the files in Blockbench?

[sand topaz]

Nothing happens, BlockBench opens but nothing happens, I'm on the main menu. I've also tried using the open button on the software directly, but it only takes .json, .bmodel... But not .bbmodel

[warm basin]

it should take .bbmodels

maybe Blockbench updated their format

could you send one of the files you are having trouble with?

[sand topaz]

I'm sending you this tomorrow at noon French time, sorry I left the pc. Thanks for your help!

[warm basin]

alright thanks 👍

Idk whether it's resolved, already, but when you can't open a BBModel file,
it usually means that a plugin was used for the model.
Installing the plugin should allow blockbench to open it.
And I believe, drag and dropping a model in blockbench also shows which plugin is necessary? (Not sure about that)

[sand topaz]

Do you know the plugin for this?

[rare epoch]

🤷 I can take a look at the file if you send it to me. But I can't promise anything.
It's a text file, so when you open it in a text editor it should somewhere contain the format it requires.

[sand topaz]

Sorry I'm a complete idiot, I meant .bmodel not .bbmodel! I reversed everything!

[warm basin]

ah I see
I found this discussion from 2 years ago that might be relevant
https://www.reddit.com/r/Blockbench/comments/13rriak/not_bbmodels_but_bmodels/

That's java code & not a blockbench model

Or well, at least they contain valid java code. And just read the reddit threat, so it's more likely supposed to be C# or similar.
