By using the libgazebo_ros_gpu_laser plugin as for example here. See also this explanation on the gazebo wiki.

/edit: For Blender, your best bet is either using MORSE which apparently can generate ROS LaserScan messages or using Blensor.

Thank you for reply. I forgot to mention that I use Blender, is there any other way?
