3D modelers apply many processes to improve the look and usability of their assets when creating the characters, props, and sets that feature in your favorite video games and films. Not only does LOD support faster rendering, it does so in a way that doesn't negatively impact the visual quality of an asset.

Like many people, I’ve recently been looking at other engines for ‘reasons’ and have been checking out Godot. For the past couple weeks I’ve been learning some of the ins and outs of the engine, and getting a feel for how it compares to Unity. Downloading & Running I am using Godot 4.x x for this tutorial.

This work involved adding support for the FBX 3D asset exchange format to Godot. The first version of our FBX importer was added in Godot 3.2 , and relied on the Open Asset Importer library ( Assimp ). Maya is one of the most used 3D assets creation tools in the game industry, and IMVU needed good support for its FBX files.

Give new Godot users the ability to visualize their assets with a default set of high quality settings, as it is always a common source of confusion that, when just imported, assets look too plain in Godot. Another common problem Godot users run into is that setting default values for certain types of imported assets was confusing.

Do you have prior experience with other game engines? I've made games in a bunch of different engines and frameworks and languages over the years. At the time I was looking for an engine with a built-in visual editor because I was tired of moving things around by typing coordinates in code. And those engines felt just so.
