Godot 4: Importing 3D Models

In this series of videos, we look at how to import, setup, and use 3D models in Godot, whether you downloaded them or created them yourself.
You can download the art packs we're using from Kay Lousberg at itch.io:

At 0:58 note that the "Characters/gltf" folder has been renamed as "Characters/characters" so here it shows as "characters" but in the downloaded zip it will be "gltf".

[@multiarray2320]

great to see that you still make godot tutorials

[@exoZelia]

Tysm I needed this. Coming from Unity the process is a bit different (or I'm just being dumb). Either way please keep making these focused Godot tutorial (as in just importing rather than an overall make a game in a single video), the world needs them

[@vasarolnik]

Great tutorial as always!! Thanks for getting back to posting vids on youtube, you're the best!

[@rfsbsb]

Another great tutorial! Looking forward on how to build a level with these pieces in godot! (or even better, how is the most simple way to build a level using them, either in Godot or another software like Blender)

[@Ironpants57]

Awesome! Thanks for this!
Though I did find out something pretty exciting recently on the Godot docs; tutorials > assets_pipeline > importing_scenes.html#import-hints. Godot recognizes suffixes and prefixes in names. It's so cool!! Though you'll need to rename objs, animations, bones, and etc. to what fits Godots suffix and prefix naming conventions.
Example if you import a glb file into godot with a mesh called "cube-col". Godot will import "cube-col" with a collision automagically. All because of the `-col` suffix. Or rename "cube" to "cube-rigid" so it will import the mesh as a rigid body.
Same with animation names but doesn't need a hyphen(-). Just include "loop" or "cycle" in the animation name. These are just a few examples in the asset_pipeline tutorial on official the Godot docs.

[@Kidscancode]

Yep, I mention them in the written version of this tutorial. Doesn't really apply when we're importing someone else's models, but a great timesaver when you're working in Blender!

Thank you. (I am a very old kid chronologically but I qualify mentally)

You are a general lifesaver thank you!!!

[@Barakon]

The import segment just tells me to go set up systemfile or something, what does that mean?

[@locnguyen7496]

Hi there, how can I import multiple objects while enable Physics to all objects? my objects are tiles for gridmap, and need to change position while import a bit, any scripts or tip here?

[@awyeagames]

Can you make a video about importing the animations separately, so we can edit them with new tracks?

[@Kidscancode]

Great suggestion! I'll put it on my list.

[@joshuasteward6672]

How can you create a new, “uninherited” scene? I’m doing lots of things in my project procedurally, and it’s a royal pain to have to recreate the scene piece by piece, but for the life of me I have not found a good reliable way to get just a bogstandard scene from an import.

[@camf-p4t]

thank you

[@Frustratedhen]
