It used to automatically import and change the icon but it doesn't anymore. I'm using blender 2.8.
Importing seems unity considers it like dummy file and I can't use it
I'm not sure what cause this.

Link For Blender Direct Setup: https://mirror.clarkson.edu/blender/release/Blender2.79/blender-2.79b-windows64.msi

After opening file in blender , go to File Export -> FBX and if you get problem in model axis orientation, before saving file there is an option of fixing axis below "Selectable Objects" change these +Y UP , -Z Forward

Avoid placing backup files (blend1) inside your project. Unity's Asset management uses the filename without extension as assetname. So having two files with the same name can cause issues.

Beside that, make sure you installed blender properly. Unity can not natively import blend files. Unity needs access to blender to do this.

Hi Thanks for the reply. but how do you install blender properly? It seems they only provide some kind of portable zip file. as I remember there was *.msi file that install blender but I can't find it. https://builder.blender.org/download/. or is there any way that let unity see portable blender exe file?

I had issues with this not working, like it would try to import it and never finish, although I had tried a simpler file and it did work. However, I just tried packing the external data into the .blend by File > External Data > Pack All. This packs everything it's using that is outside the blend file, like textures and other .blends for a single model that have been appended or linked to. It took some time but it eventually worked. So if you have that issue that might be a reason for it- maybe everything needs to be in the blender file, otherwise it doesn't support importing it.

In case anyone else comes across this. There is a known issue with blender 3.0.0 causing unity import not to work. Update to 3.0.1 or later and it will be fixed.
