How to create 3D-assets for your game with Blender and Godot (or Unity / UE) - a material workflow

This video gives advice in how to implement a material workflow for creating 3D-Assets for Game development. Blender and Godot is used as examples but principles can be translated to other 3D-Software and game engines as well

This tutorial is so valuable. Finally a good explanation that has actually been tested to work for Blender with Godot. Amazing. Love it!

Dude, the first tip already blowed me away 😭
Thank you so much man!

[@brentspotswood]

This was actually quite useful. Sometimes you need just the quick end-to-end overview so that you can then have a better idea where to dig in on something. I was wanting to take a look at Godot and play around with some stuff. It has been many years since I've done any playing in this area so the quick rundown, with the export format was useful. It got me where I wanted to be in just a few minutes. I created a simple model and got it in Godot as a starting capability check point. Time for progression. :)

exactly what I wanted to know for starting out on Godot 3d

Super Video und schön umgesetzte UV Wrapping Erklärung.

this vid is gold

[@thomasamathew4058]

Make sure you add Godot to the title.
You'll come up more on searches

[@feyternerdworld]

Thanks for this. I changed it :)

[@sperpflerperberg8147]

Amazing Tutorial!! I hope you keep up this wonderful work, it is very useful :)

[@nosdregamon]

Awesome stuff. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@Paruthi.618]

very detailed tutorial.. thanks

[@s7tuts448]

great video sir

[@feyternerdworld]

I'm glad you liked it

[@thefufuu3157]

thanks you !

[@AstroTechGuy]

That was an awesome tutorial. Very well explained and i've learned a lot from it.

[@feyternerdworld]

That's so nice to hear :)

[@awyeagames]

Amazing tutorial!

[@JohnnyCashOriginal]

Great info. Yes please make a video with more detail especially regarding steps involved in painting surfaces. Are there any open source tools available that do what substance painter does?

[@feyternerdworld]

Well it depends :D
Technically blender can do everything that substance painter does. Creating Diffuse/Color, Roughness, Metal and normal maps all can be done in Blender ans Substance Painter... but what substance painter is actually doing is giving you structure in a workflow and providing you shortcut functions for archiving stuff.
To be honest I have as good as zero experience in substance painter and after all I'm not a professional 3D artist so don't expect me to give any detailed description about how to do Thing X from Substance Painter in Blender.
I could of course create a video about how I use procedurally generated textures in Blender. I look what I can do but in the meantime there are already many tutorials from persons much more talented than I am. :)

[@thomasamathew4058]

For the algo

[@boerbol9422]

I agree and support your effort with this comment!

how about shading from blender to godot without losing the quality.. nobody talk about it

[@feyternerdworld]

What exactly do you mean by quality? I mean that are two different programs with different render engines I'm not surprised it looks different. Godot has many setting that are by default disabled or more optimized for frame rate instead of "image quality". I've seen some amazing almost photo realistic real-time demos from Godot. So I think there is much that is possible.

[@nosdregamon]

@@feyternerdworld I think the 3d default world environment of Godot (the one with the blue-ish tint), makes imported models / shaders look pretty bad. And without knowing what's going on, one might easily assume, that Godot's 3d engine is bad (not just a few defaults). Do you perhaps know of a way, to export or re-construct Blenders "world lighting" to Godot?

[@feyternerdworld]

@@nosdregamon I don't think it is possible to directly export and import lights and environment settings (like said) completely different programs that handle this things differently internally. But maybe I'm wrong.
However I don't see much of the usecase for this besides prevent newbies from judging to quickly. Wworld environment in Godot 4 now has "better" default settings, so I don't know if this problem still exist.
Otherwise I find this video to be helpful to setup lighting in a scene. Including everything from HDRI to directional lights and shadows. th-cam.com/video/8kwnCxK8Vc8/w-d-xo.html

@@feyternerdworld Thanks for the link, and I guess I'll take a look at the Godot 4 beta.
