We’re not thinking about AI too much - it’s too far away on the horizon to seriously consider while we’re busy focusing on getting the game into alpha, beta, and doing our cert submission prep. If an AI can help by pre-filling in values and setting things up for them to review and adjust, that’s a lot faster than having to do it by hand.

Even downloading the bindings from our asset sharing would be possible. For example, you could download an FBX import module from the asset sharing. We will be releasing an alpha build soon for everyone to start playing with them and finding bugs. Bind to any external libraries (e.g. SQLite, Steam, etc.) without any recompiling.

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.

This means that once you install it, you don’t need to add any Component to your gameObjects (as opposed to some similar plugins in the Asset Store).

You just have to create a new asset using Create > Render Texture and then assign it to your camera. I can now use this asset like any other texture in the project. This way, it doesn’t have to render unnecessary elements twice, and the captured texture has black background, so I can use it as alpha.

One common complaint from Godot users is that many asset types need to be imported in order to be used, or in order to change certain types of flags. Original assets are placed directly in the project folder ( e.g.dae scenes, images, etc.), At export time, the original assets are removed and replaced by the imported versions.

Kudos to the first Godot user publishing an open source shader to achieve such an effect on our Asset Library :). alpha 2, which you can use if you want, but you should be ready to face bugs and difficulties exporting games (for example exporting games using C# is not possible at this time, and should be fixed in the coming weeks).
