This base character comes fully rigged and can be completely edited by the developer. It’s possible to batch edit across 50 or a hundred characters at the same time. Based on her research into avatars she created a tool to turn 2D photographic data into 3D fully rigged and animatable digital characters. It happens instantly.

We’re also not bound to using the Resources folder like we are in Unity, so I’m going to use the folder “Data” instead since that makes more sense to me. You can either click that, or once you are done editing all textures, you can click save scene in the Scene menu and it will save any unsaved materials.

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

DECEMBER 13, 2017

First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Godot lightmapper works with one texture per mesh, so sharing UVs between meshes will not give you more optimization. In any case, Godot makes the process of generating unique UVs for each mesh easier for you. How do I use it? Generating UV2 Layer.

Godot 3.2 adds support for convex decomposition

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 9, 2019

This makes the workflow for 3D games considerably easier, by allowing conversion of concave meshes of any form into a set of convex shapes. Triangle mesh shapes ( ConcavePolygonShape ) work very well as static colliders, but they are useless for rigid bodies or areas, as they have no internal volume. The convex problem.
