+# Models
+
+Luanti supports a few different model formats.
+
+### `.obj` Format
+
+Useful for static models, doesn't not support animation.
+
+### `.b3d` Format
+
+Orginally from the Blitz3D Engine, this format is widespread due to its animation support. You will need [this](https://github.com/GreenXenith/io_scene_b3d) extension to export models from blender. It is recommended that you keep the source .blend file due to importing not being supported in the extension. Using gltf/glb is prefered if you don't mind not supporting older 5.x releases.
+
+### `.x` Format
+
+Alternative to b3d that supports animations. Unless you have a specific reason, should use gltf/glb or b3d.
+
+### `.gltf / .glb` Format
+
+Modern animation model support, added in release 5.10. Using this format means you can't (easily) support versions before 5.10. See https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?t=31133 regarding exporting from blender at this time.
+
+### Node Boxes Format
+
+{{< notice note >}}
+This Format is only supported for nodes.
