Adding animation to an OBJ model can bring it to life and make it more engaging. In this article, we will walk through the process of adding animation to your OBJ model using Blender.

Step 1: Import your OBJ model into Blender. Make sure you have the OBJ import plugin installed in Blender if it is not already included.

Step 2: Create the animation timeline. In Blender, switch to the Animation workspace and set up the timeline for your animation. This is where you will set keyframes to define the motion of your OBJ model.

Step 3: Set keyframes. Once your timeline is set up, you can start setting keyframes to define the movement of your OBJ model. Position your model in the starting position, insert a keyframe, then move to a different frame in the timeline and adjust the position of your model to create the desired motion. Insert another keyframe to define the new position. Repeat this process to create a smooth animation sequence.

Step 4: Refine the animation. After setting the keyframes, you can go back and refine the animation by adjusting the timing and easing of the keyframes. This can help to create more realistic and fluid motion for your OBJ model.

Step 5: Export the animation. Once you are satisfied with your animation, you can export it as an OBJ file with the animation included. Make sure to select the appropriate export settings to include the animation data.

By following these steps, you can add animation to your OBJ model and bring it to life. Whether you are creating a simple rotating motion or a complex animated sequence, Blender provides the tools you need to bring your 3D models to life. Experiment with different keyframe settings and timing to create the perfect animation for your OBJ model. Enjoy animating your 3D models and bringing them to life with Blender!
