Impossible to open blend files created in Blender 2.8

Release Type: Official Release

Describe the bug When importing a .blend file created in Blender 2.8, the error “Error:An exception occurred while generating the template.” appears and nothing ends up imported.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a project in blender 2.8
2. Save it as a .blend
3. Load it in xenko by importing a model as .blend
4. The error will appear when importing

Expected behavior The model should open properly without errors

Log and callstacks

Error:An exception occurred while generating the template.
Info:Nothing to import.

Additional context It happens on any kind of blender 2.8 projects, I’ve tested with a project containing a complex model and with a simple new project only containing the basic cube, it always happens, trying with blender 2.79, the projects are imported properly, so something probably changed in the format between 2.79 and 2.8

Testing after the assimp update yields this instead:

Error:Assimp: BLEND: Expected at least one object with no parent
Info:Nothing to import.

I’ll attach a test cube exported using blender 2.82 if you want to have a look, remove the extension though, had to add one as github wouldn’t let me attach it otherwise. untitled.blend.txt

Just confirming this issue still persists as of today.
