i think you need to thank unity for making a 3 month old video relevant again lol

4:00 what if I want to import assets to an exissting project?

5:39 I get error Invalid get index '0' (on base: 'Nil').

haha yeah :D

I have my game almost done, so yeah

Its so cool that we don't necessarily have to start from scratch to switch to a more trustable engine.

My previos comment aged like milk, godot itself dodn't want to work with my c# I have been awake all night checking on sdks, mcsft dev kits and modifying internal files, I give up

@@neverstepd7 checkout w4games for console stuff. Currently it is not ready for it but should come soon (currently in EA and planned to release Q1 2024).

I'm halfway through making this game, Was planning on launching the kickstarter in a few weeks. I'm praying to gods this works because otherwise ALL of my work is gone. What they're doing is disgusting.

Thanks, fellow dev

I've been working on a personal project within Unity for a while to help with my portfolio and skills, and if Unity does decide to commit to this install fee, both the horrible game engine and the company will die out. I welcome Godot, I just hope I can get used to the new layout and framework.

​@@happygal8804what do you mean if?

I'm about 25% done with the game using unity and then they hit me with that news but I'm trying Godot and it's just not working for me It's too hard and complicated to do basic things that I did in unity

Yeah. bro predicted the fall of unity

I shall export this game to unity from unreal. And then To Godot from unity. And now let's see how mangled the code is when we export from Godot to unreal

@@shadowlordalpha No code is passing through. Only scenes, models, materials, and I don't know about animations.

It shows how lazy poeple are. just do things manually !

@Hyder Ali Najie but Google translate is so much better /s

⁠​⁠@@Hyder61112 “It just shows how lazy people are! Just build your own house manually!” That is you. That is what you sound like. It is fine if you do, but not everyone has the time and resources.

@@kidmosey its more that Godot doesn't share the component architecture. I suppose it could be implemented, but it might be a weird fit

It's a start I suppose and it does save some time. Certainly beats creating entire levels all over again.

@@Jephed_ Sure but not all games are "3D character running around in 3D world."

@@Spore-Productions true

Yeah, all the models I have can be opened on blender and saves to whatever file type the engine uses. What I want is to be able to convert my unity tools and plugins over to other engines. I feel like I've wasted money because I no longer want to use unity and have a bunch of plugins that are unusable.

It looked more natural in Godot to me also.

Same question

Total agree! @gamefromscratch

I have the opposite experience where I think unity is the easiest

@@johnsartain4160 Unity is dead

@@AkumanoKuma2236 I am too

All your wallets are belong to us!

This is the issue I have, I have a couple of plugins that I use all the time that would need to be ported over to a new engine and I bought a couple templates at the beginning of my dev journey that a couple of projects use as a base. Porting over the assets isn't the issue, the scripts and plugins are what I'm concerned with. I'm not confident in stripping code and recompiling for another engine, a little guide would do me wonders for this though.

The code is not imported at all unfortunately, this will only convert assets over. You will have to rewrite game logic.

@@gamefromscratch Thanks for your quick answer. Oh this is bad okay. But at least a little help.

Framerate is no different, both are limited by the 60hz nature of the monitor, or the 30hz rate I was capturing the video out. The big difference is, at default input scale, the navigation speed around the environment was about 10x higher than unity over Godot. This gives the impression of higher framerates where none exists.

@@gamefromscratch This reminds me it may be interesting topic to make video about scaling and how it is different in engines. It just don't work that picking unit == meter/inch as scaling is coupled with physic engine and rendering effects, and defaults works in some specific situation. Physics are most sensitive, wrong scale and collisions seems to be "off" or they don't work as they should.

I PERSONALLY found the engine to be pretty immature. You'll find people talking splendidly about it, just like Unreal 5 at the beginning, the reality is that hype and inexperience makes them speak like that, and you can only understand this if you use all 3 engines for a bit. This is true especially considering it's an open source project, and people tend to worship these things. However, it's an open source project. It'll probably never catch up with Unity or Unreal, because since few people understand engine code, the main reason to use it is that it's "free". The thing is, both Unity and Unreal are free to use, and if you earn enough you have to pay them a fraction of what you earned. And they're much more mature engines, with very few bugs, while in Godot it takes time to add new features and fix bugs at the same time for the team. And you can't easily export to consoles. I just don't think it's worth it at the moment if you're thinking about making money with gamedev, as Unity and Unreal are proven engines with lots of AAA, AA teams and successful indies using them, while Godot still has no big title to show and is used by a few, despite the hype continuing for years at this point. Godot 4 was delayed 2 or 3 years from its expected release window in 2020

@@unohhhjjdd6716 Something tells me the above post will not age well...and Brackeys would agree....

@@johnq.public3302 yeah it definitely hasn't aged well at all xD. Godot has improved so much in the last few months

the exe is missing for unitypackage_utl

That is unfortunate, it seems those builds expired. That means you need to build it yourself. On the bright side, it's not actually that hard or scary, its a rust project. Just do the follow steps: Go to the Rust website and install Rust, or use a package manager if your platform has one (like brew on mac or apt on linux). If prompted, let Rust install itself to your path. Assuming you have git installed (if not, install git for your platform too). Open a terminal and go to an empty directoy Run: git clone github.com/barcoderdev/unitypackage_util.git cd unitypackage_util cargo build This will then invoke the Rust compiler and build the exe for you. It will be in the folder Target/Debug if the compile suceeded.

@@gamefromscratch And if the compile didn't succed? I get an error about link.exe or something.

​​@@JagGentlemannwell that error you write is not even helping. Should copy entire error (or looks to google). But from my experience (not building rust but usually more or less the same), link error is most of the time library problem. Either you don't have the library or not in the correct path. You might want to install mingw, build tools (microsoft build tools), etc.

Thanks so much Mike! @@gamefromscratch That totally worked for me!

Just saw it attempted an FPS Controller import. I wonder how good it is at this conversion.

Link?

Generally yes. The exception is normally if the asset comes directly from the engine manufacturer (ie Unity samples), which are often under a different license then asset store assets.

This was actually a fluke of the video. No manual processing was done. That asset just ended up looking better in Godot with the default lighting setup.

​@@gamefromscratch thats fair. im just glad godot has stuff like post processing, now i just have to learn how to use it. i mean getting good lighting in godot when settingup

will look

No sadly it needs to be built now. I gave step by step instructions in another comment.

thanks, found the comment@@gamefromscratch

I've seen this mentioned a few times. When I did this video I was using Godot 4, and 4.1 has been released since. Perhaps try it with an older build of Godot 4.0 and see if it works. Something in the 4.1 migration may have broken it, I know they are working heavily on the GDExtension system right now.

@@gamefromscratch sorry, i wanted to mean that the unitypackage_util.exe is not downloable, it sais expired. There's another way to obtain it?

No

well the unity one uses no sky while godot ia and uses global illumination called sdfgi.

There are actually some pretty nice options out of the box for exporting from Unreal to Godot as it is. It has a quite good glTF exporter (as well as FBX and others) built in, and can do entire levels at once. You can also proxy through USD if you're willing to deal with the pain of Omniverse, and get basically perfect results. gamefromscratch.com/exporting-from-unreal-engine-to-godot-unity-or-blender/

@@gamefromscratch i was wondering what happening with Omniverse, why use this instead of Omniverse... "D if you're willing to deal with the pain" ok, that says a lot, lol, i think it may be like wine in the early days

Godot has built in gltf export. So sorra

@@gamefromscratch I have some 2D project in Godot that I would like to repackage for Unity, but didn't find a tool to do it

I don't think I've seen _worse_ timing in a while lol

The creator of Godot named the game engine after an Irish play called "Waiting for Godot". In the play, two characters stand around having a conversation while waiting for a man named Godot to appear... whom never comes. Juan Linietsky, the co-creator of Godot (along with Ariel Manzur), humorously decided to name his game engine Godot because he "got tired of waiting around for the perfect game engine to appear...", keeping with the theme of the play.

I googled it actually, and apparently it is allowed; unity support even has a page explaining how to use Asset Store assets in other engines. (can't link, or my comment gets hidden)

Yeah, figured that out after the fact. I was tripped up for a second seeing something I didn't expect to see, and made my brain mentally short circuit.

Art style really shouldn't impact it in the slightest, I just had these two asset packs at hand because I recently covered them with Humble.

Example photorealistic scenery. Just create photorealistic assets in your modelling tools and import. Remember that 70-90% game development for games that has good fidelity graphics, is modelling work. That's why big AAA game studios have army of artists.

Style doesn't matter, this specific thing is bickering over image textures mostly, Godot's renderer is not so bad that you'd notice problems in higher definition models any more then any other game engine.

It’ll work for gpu particles just fine. Terrain I think they integrated it with a terrain plugin. I think it’s only water now

Another day, another clueless comment from the Unity fanboi 😆

@@Gladstone-hk9xw I use unreal for games and unity for non-gaming educational apps. I've played around with unigine, Flax, stride and Godot. Godot is by far the worst of them.

Yeah, exactly - you've 'played around' with them. Funny how all the comments badmouthing Godot are from people who don't know how to use it properly. I can assure you it more than holds its own against Unity, IF you actually know what you're doing.

@@Gladstone-hk9xw LOL. if godot is better than unity, then it means Godot devs are just lazy and untalented because the games/apps made with godot are subpar garbage. I am yet to see a proper looking game, AR/VR app, educational app, robotic sim, etc made with godot. Where are all these great stuffs if godot is go great? Even unity's 2015 demo about the Blacksmith looks better than anything Godot has ever produced. Lmaooo

I think YOU should wait for "Make me a good game" button. Or better... "Give me some money" button...

There's enough shovelware out there without giving hacks like you the ability to generate even more with just a few mouse clicks

Because in the same way you believe Unity to be better than Godot, there are those who think Godot is better than Unity.

I don't like to pay to get rid of that stupid splash screen.

As I said it's my opinion

Scott your opinion is wrong
