How to Convert a 3D Model to a FiveM Prop

To convert a 3D model to a FiveM prop, you need GLB, OBJ or FBX turned into GTA V drawables (YDR) with textures and archetype data. EasyFiveM does this in your browser — upload, edit, and export a FiveM resource ZIP with YDR, YTYP and fxmanifest.lua.

EasyFiveM is not just an AI 3D model generator. It is a FiveM-focused tool that helps creators create, convert and export ready-to-use FiveM props — no Blender or Sollumz required for standard objects.

What is an AI FiveM prop maker?

A FiveM prop maker converts standard 3D formats into native GTA V files. EasyFiveM's Prop Maker accepts GLB, OBJ and FBX — the formats you get from Sketchfab, Meshy, Tripo or Blender exports.

Why general AI 3D tools are not enough for FiveM

Meshy, Tripo and Sketchfab give you meshes — not YDR. You need a FiveM YDR generator to bridge that gap. EasyFiveM handles conversion server-side so you create FiveM props online without desktop software.

Supported input formats

• GLB / glTF — recommended; textures often embedded
• OBJ — mesh + separate texture files
• FBX — common from game art pipelines

GLB users: see our dedicated GLB to YDR converter page.

How EasyFiveM creates FiveM-ready props

Upload your model to Prop Maker. The server-side pipeline converts geometry to YDR, packages textures as YTD when needed, generates YTYP archetype data, and writes fxmanifest.lua — all in one export.

Can EasyFiveM export YDR and YTYP files?

Yes. Every export includes .ydr, .ytyp and a complete resource folder. Not a raw mesh you still have to convert manually.

Step-by-step: convert 3D model to FiveM prop

1. Open Prop Maker.
2. Upload GLB, OBJ or FBX.
3. Preview in the 3D viewport — verify textures loaded.
4. Fix scale — most common issue with imported models.
5. Edit collision mesh so players cannot walk through solid objects.
6. Name your prop (used in YTYP and filenames).
7. Export — download the FiveM resource ZIP export.
8. Extract to resources/, add ensure to server.cfg, restart.

Common mistakes

• Wrong scale — prop appears tiny or gigantic in-game
• Missing collision — players clip through the mesh
• No YTYP — prop won't spawn (EasyFiveM generates this automatically)
• Lone YDR download — incomplete without manifest and archetype

EasyFiveM vs Meshy vs Tripo vs Blender/Sollumz

Generate mesh in Meshy or Tripo, convert in EasyFiveM — fastest hybrid. Or model in Blender and export FBX to EasyFiveM to skip Sollumz. Blender + Sollumz still wins for complex vehicles and MLO interiors.
