The Liquid Fire

NOVEMBER 9, 2023

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.

Finger tracking itself is fully supported both through updating orientation of meshes, for which a sample scene is included in the plugin, and through animating a skeleton and bone deformation. Windows Mixed Reality headsets are currently only supported through SteamVR as WMR natively only supports DirectX game engines.

Lesson 1 Transcript So as you saw in the last module, the roles of game designer and game programmer can very easily mesh together, and this is very true in smaller companies where the designer and the programmer might be the same person or the designer might help out in programming to help things continue along.

And for more advanced use cases, there is now also TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add Word Art to your scenes ;).

Throughout the last two years the core of the engine has seen a lot of improvements and refactoring to bring it to the next level in terms of maintainability, reliability, and performance. We don’t recommend migrating large projects to the Godot 4.0
