Update 1.2: Model Importer

Golf Around now has an importer for custom 3D models! You can import your own or get models from others on the Workshop!



Read the full Importer guide here:
https://www.golfaroundgame.com/importer

The model format is .OBJ only, with optional .MTL files for materials. (You can export this format from Blender easily.) Animations are not supported, sorry.
Each asset is a unique workshop item, which you can make private or public.
Assets are also fully embedded in the map files, so they won't break if the assets aren't present.

If you need any help using it, join our Discord here and ask for help: https://discord.gg/h6vzVq5

Keep in mind this is a new tool and will probably need some fixes. If you find a bug it's very helpful to report it on Discord or the forums!
