If you check the box under File>External Data>Automatically Pack Resources, then image textures will be brought from Blender into Godot without needing to have them in a separate folder in godot

godot is an open source engine, meaning it runs on donations, so as they need money to continue supporting the engine, they do what their users want. that's why their users like the godot team.

you can do the same in unity and ue4/5...import entire Maya scene etc. this isn't anything new and frankly depending on the project is actually worse for the pipeline IMO.

it's great for quick prototyping, but having a separation layer between developing and exported design is very good. use this to try things out, but export to glb/gltf

It’s a very bad idea to use .blend files. Any changes made to blender could inadvertently impact your Godot project. You also don’t want assets that can be changed externally without explicit reimporting. Again, because of inadvertent changes. Very much not best practice.

@JimJakubJames 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, that's why people use version control systems. Or you could just use different directory for blender and godot. Is there any problem with .blend files per se?

@scotmcpherson 6 ай бұрын

@@JimJakubJames it’s the same difference between a word document and a pdf document. Yes you “can” edit both, but one is inherently designed to be modified whilst the other needs to be handled properly to do so.

Sometimes bad practices are the best way to get a project done You don't need to use the proper way to make a good game Of course, if you work in a big studio then you're not gonna import a blender file, but then again I doubt you would be using Godot in that setting

@fabiandrinksmilk6205 5 ай бұрын

Should be fine for iterating at first. You'd want to export proper assets for release though.

@surrealife2 7 ай бұрын

Godot implicitly converts the .blend to .gltf using this setup. This is probably useful for quick prototyping, but isn't so apt for more mature workflows

@Blargis3d 6 ай бұрын

I do it like this for my workflows and it works fine for me. I’m thinking if you’re a solo dev it should be fine but if you’re on a team, probably best to export so you don’t inadvertently screw up someone else

This isn't true .blend support. All Godot is doing is running Blender in the background to export your file's contents as GLTF which Godot then converts to its own internal resource structure, just as it does with any other GLTF file. Same goes for FBX, just using a different 3rd party converter. Natively Godot only supports importing OBJ, Collada and GLTF. But Collada being a terrible and vague specification, it was never really well supported outside of using the Godot developed BetterCollada exporter add-on for Blender.

So it’s emulation?

@Uradamus 8 ай бұрын

@@Dave102693 No, emulation implies recreating the behavior of hardware in software. This is just one piece of software running another in the background to perform a task.

@zarya_games 7 ай бұрын

What do you mean by not true .blend support? It's WYCIWYG in the purest form - if Godot rolled its own implementation of everything (triangulation, modifiers etc), that would create inconsistent behavior as soon as the Blender team changes the implementation any of these things. By referring to the local Blender installation, Godot is actually keeping everything as internally consistent as possible on the developer's PC. Walks like a duck, you know, and is trivial to implement in comparison to the alternatives.

@lemonworm 7 ай бұрын

so whats your opinion using FBXs then? is it that bad that its using a converter? There are just a lot more tools for batch exporting fbx models than gltf.

Hmmm. Im using UE5 but Godot looks like it has some nice QoL features. Do you use gdscript or c#? Edit: nvm i subbed and see you have a video on gdscript

Godots QoL is pain, tear and suffering. Literally nothing works as it should. Only if you just new user you can have an ilusion of “simplisity”, but dig deer and you see pile of bugs that never fixed.

@samual_not_samuel 8 ай бұрын

@@martin-gaming Yes you still have the blend file, but the problem is putting that blend file inside your godot project dramatically increases the size of your game. Think about it the example I gave the blend file was 14x the size of the glb file. That was just one file, a single low poly entity with a few animations attached. Do that to every single glb file, and obj file. What should have been a small game with a file size of only a 5gb suddenly turns into a +100gb game. It is just bad optimization, and bad game design.

@user-wh9cn8hi5j 2 ай бұрын

False, there IS need to export ur models in any format but .blend when u about to export final release because .blend file weight x10 more then fbx or obj, so if u dont want ur crappy low poly game weight as AAA does u want em in other format, further more u also can store audio files in mp3 instead of wav so u save additional portion of space. I hope u don't store ur textures as .psd at least
