Select a mesh, see its list of materials, keep or override materials, done. the car does not have the default green material anymore, it has my dirt texture). In the viewport the Mesh was showing my overrides (i.e.
I tried the following: I removed my overrides from “MeshInstance.Material” and placed overrides directly into “Mesh.Surface”. The three different material assignments spots.
#GODOT 3D GAMES HOW TO#
I still haven’t figured out how to have a custom material in a mesh with multiple materials.
During runtime, Godot does not know which material is which, and if you assigned materials to different spots, there will be Material’s Z-fighting and flickering.THIRD: Then the Mesh Instance also has a GeometryInstance resource where you can also set a MaterialOverride, but it has only one spot, not one for each surface.SECOND: In the Mesh Instance itself, you also have spots for materials.In the Mesh Instance, the Mesh child Node has a “Surface” property for each material of the Mesh. In Godot we have three different material assignments and/or override spots:.Godot only processed the undo action “Switch Scene Tab” and then stated “Nothing to undo”, and it just kept jumping between the Switch Tab actions. I went to another scene tab, then went back to the SuvSingleScene and tried to undo the material changes. In a situation, I made changes to the material of a Mesh in the scene SuvSingleScene:
#GODOT 3D GAMES UPDATE#
⚠️ UPDATE 1 (23/07/22): Seven of the issues listed here are gone or partially gone in Godot 4 (using Godot 4 alpha 12), of which one of them was fixed by myself, by updating Godot’s code.īy switching Scene tabs, you lose the Undo tree from the previous tab (2D/3D) The issues here are related from my own usage with Godot 3.*, from 3.1 to 3.5 RC5. I think Godot eventually will reach the same status. Blender pre-2.8 was (and still is) an amazing piece of software, but it was… weird (not to mention Blender 2.4)? And it had a lot of UI inconsistencies, then 2.8 and more recently 3.0 changed everything – Blender is now praised for its UI and its workflow. I think the situation with the Godot Editor and its workflow is just like Blender. They are not bugs, otherwise I’d have reported them, instead they are part of Godot’s workflow and defaults.įor the past 4 years I’ve been using Godot to make all kinds of projects from GUI, to 2D and to 3D and this is how I ended up compiling this list (see my Godot projects and educational content at the bottom of this article). This page lists issues and inconsistencies I’ve found with Godot’s 3D Workflow and 3D Features (some of them apply to 2D as well).
#GODOT 3D GAMES CODE#
At the same time, Godot’s underlying code is fully open, so any developer can read and contribute their own code to shape a custom engine, rather than just stay at the game development level.Īll in all, Godot is a game engine with great potential. But it comes with an easy way to develop, an active community, a comprehensive help document, and a wealth of sample code, which are all friendly to game developers starting out. The games made with Godot can be simultaneously released to Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, UWP, and HTML5 platforms.Ĭompared to the mature commercial game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity, Godot is still very young and immature, especially in the 3D field. Compared with many other game engines, it is small in size, rich in features, simpler and easier to use, and more friendly to the novice game makers. It started as a 2D game engine, but later expanded its capabilities for 3D game development. Godot is a completely free, open-source, cross-platform, and lightweight 2D + 3D game engine.
