Can you check if you have done the following?

- Enabled the plugin, and added an "Extensions to Register" Resource that defines your "level" folder. This tells Godot when to use the addon

- Added the Bezier Curves Export geometry node modifier provided, note that the modifier must be applied when exporting. This packs the data into a useable format.

- Enabled "Custom Properties" in the Blender GLTF export under Include - Data. This tells the addon what meshes to operate on.

- Enabled "Loose Points" and "Attributes" in the Blender GLTF export under Data - Mesh. This lets us export the points which contain our information from Blender.

Apologies if it wasn't clear that "Loose Points" and "Attributes" are needed for curves, I'll update the page to reflect that.

Hi Barb,

I've tried the above steps, but still got a mesh instead of a curve.

Could you kindly share a video about the steps? (or an even simpler example that can export a Beizer curve from the Blender to the Godot as a Curve3D object)

Also, how is "Extensions to Register" used?

Thank you!

Hi, it appears as if bezier has been typo'd as "beizer", can you try correcting the spelling and seeing if the problem persists?

To address how the Godot addon functions, the gltf_level_register.tscn is run on startup, and iterates over all the Resources defined in the "Extensions to Register" Array. This tells Godot that it should use that Resource, and the Resource itself which provides the functionality and is used to define which folders to look in for(this avoids iterating over all of the files in the project and applying the addon's importer only to the files we want).

Note that the curve importing will only apply to gltf files in the Resource's Level folder, which in the demo is res://data/levels
