A simple and fast CSV file importer.
Option 1: Drag and drop your CSV file directly into Blender’s viewport.
Option 2: Use the menu: File → Import → CSV
The imported data will be stored in a mesh.
The mesh consists of only vertices, with no faces and no edges.
All vertices are placed at the same point: the Origin (0,0,0).
Each vertex contains attributes from the imported data.
The data will appear in Blender’s Spreadsheet Editor.
Use Geometry Nodes and the Named Attribute feature to set new vertex positions based on the imported data.
Find additional documentation in the Github README.

If you see this message: "Extension bl_ext.blender_org.csv_importer is incompatible (This Python version (3.11) isn't compatible with (3.9)" , then update to Blender4.3 and it should work.

Hi there! With this extension, once the CSV is drag'n'droped into the blender viewport, it will be embedded within the blender mesh, so there's no connection to the original data source anymore.
I assume you're using the new CSV Import node from Blender 4.5. It's not possible to use relative paths there, but you can use the string formatting node like this to have a bit more control on how to load the data: https://postimg.cc/hJ3BPF8h
Looks great but seem to have an issue in that: it installs and then is no longer visible in the import section upon restarting Blender? Am using V4.3.2. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Can you describe more what you mean by "import section"? For me, the extension is shown in Preferences -> Add-ons. And this still works after a restart.
Hi. This looks useful. Thank you for doing it. I have installed and activated the add-on, but it takes a long time to import any csv. At first, I thought that Blender froze, but I left it running for a few minutes and the data finally did import. That was using the sample data provided. It happens if I drag and drop the csv or import through file>import>csv. I'm running Blender 4.3.2. I've tried running a "repair" of Blender and reinstalling the addon, but the issue persists. Has anyone had this issue?
I can confirm this is a bug in the latest version of the CSV Importer, caused by the new String processing feature. I just implemented a fix for it, and will probably release a new version tomorrow: https://github.com/kolibril13/blender_csv_import/pull/23
Hello. I'm working on a project that heavily relies on the CSV import geometry node in blender. But this node does not support relative pathing so as soon as any imput csv is moved, the absolute path is broken. Does this csv importer support relative pathing? If so, that would be great, as I am inexperienced in scripting blender myself.
