If you care about using meshes separately, it is also possible to tell Godot to save them as files. Reimports will overwrite those meshes, though. debug settings, different bit depth, demo version of a game with less files, etc.). This will hopefully revolutionize games on the web!

About Scripting Scripting is an essential ingredient in all games. Even the simplest game needs scripts, to respond to input from the player and arrange for events in the gameplay to happen when they should. We played around with scenes to show how scenes are treated in Unity and we were able to create our own game object.

Technical details: Heightmaps are very similar to triangle meshes in term of collision detection. The difference is that heightmaps use an alternative first step to find which triangles to collide with, and then can use the same algorithm that triangle meshes use to generate contacts.

Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This process is called retopology and represents an industry of its own.
