Working with 3D Assets on Godot 4 レシピ

Importing Assets

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Problem

You’ve downloaded (or created) a set of 3D assets, including rigged and animated characters, and you want to import it into Godot.

Solution

For this example, we’ll assume you’ve downloaded the art packs linked in the section description and unzipped them.

Before copying the files into your Godot project, notice that there are multiple versions of the assets in different file formats: OBJ, FBX, and GLTF. There are also some extra files such as examples and separate textures in case you want to modify them. We don’t need all of that, and GLTF is the preferred import format for Godot. So make sure you’re only dragging the gltf folder or .gltf files (or .glb, which is the binary version of the same) into your project folder.

Character Animation

Problem

You’ve got a rigged, animated 3D character (either made by you or downloaded from a third party) and you want to set up its animations in Godot.

Solution

In this recipe, we’ll assume you’ve already imported your character model and animations. If you haven’t yet, see Importing Assets for details. As a reminder, we’re using the art packs linked in the section description.

Prepping the character

We’ve chosen CharacterBody3D for our character, so your scene should look like this (I’ve collapsed the Rig node since the mesh list is so long):

Character Controller

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Problem

You’ve imported a rigged, animated 3D character in Godot and set up its animations using AnimationTree. Now you need to implement movement: you need a character controller.

Solution

In this recipe, we’ll assume you’ve already imported your character model and animations, and that you’re set up AnimationTree to handle transitioning and blending the animations. If you haven’t yet, see Importing Assets and Character Animation for details. As a reminder, we’re using the art packs linked in the section description.
