Make a model in Blender and load in opengl

Question

I want to make a 3D model in Blender and load it in OpenGL. Can someone give a step-by-step approach on how to do so. I tried to google but did not get any proper results.

Programming language: C++,

Tools: GLFW + GLAD + GLM

Answer 1

Its a 3 step process, using external libraries.

1. Model in blender. Export from Blender to .obj format (also containing .mtl file with reference to textures used).

Refer to

https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/121/how-do-i-export-a-model-to-obj-format

2. Use a library like Assimp to produce vertices and attributes.

3. Use the vertices and attributes in your OpenGL application, using a method like described in,
