Current version can’t import blender 2.8 files but I’m not sure if the newer ones can either. Older versions of blender do work and it’s really nice to just drop a blend file on it and get a model.
My current workaround is to export to Collada/FBX and pass that to assimp. It eventually works most of the time, but it’s very tiring to pass around files
I have a more recent Assimp implementation in my private branch
Assimp doesn’t work well with Blender files .

Example :
blender.exe blender_file.blend --background --python convert_blend_to_dae.py --dae_file.dae
Here’s the issue:
