Happy New Year 2026, Defold community! 
I’ve created a simple workflow to bridge the gap between Blender and Defold for level blockouts. It consists of a Blender add-on and a Defold Editor Script.
What it does
-
Blender Add-on: Exports selected Cube objects into a Lua table (name, pos, rot, scale).
-
Defold Editor Script: Reads that Lua table and automatically generates GameObjects with matching
.collision(static box) components right in the editor!
Design Choice: No Automatic Axis Conversion
For this tool, I decided not to include automatic axis conversion (e.g., swapping Y and Z). The script exports the raw coordinates exactly as they are in Blender. I believe this keeps the tool simple and transparent, allowing you to handle the mapping in your own script according to your project’s needs.
A few things to note
-
Axis Convention: Blender is Z-up and Defold is Y-up. Please handle the height mapping or rotation on the Defold side.
-
Cube Size: Blender’s default cube is 2.0 units. Set it to 1.0 unit to match Defold’s visual scale perfectly.

I hope this helps your workflow in the new year!
Happy Defolding!
