I am very new to cocos engine and web app development in general… up until now, I have always been more focused on shader development, 3d character rigs, solid modeling, and world design. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this valuable feedback! All of it was in Unity engine.

Visual scripting. While Godot had visual scripting in the past, we found that the form we had implemented didn’t really prove adequate for the needs of the community, so it was discontinued. What we realized is that visual scripting really shines when combined together with the premade behaviors mentioned in the previous section.

The GodotScript template class includes a field owner , which refers to the Object that the current script is attached to. Even though Godot's scripting languages try to make you believe that you can "extend" or "inherit" engine types, all that is done is actually delegation. The TIME variable in shaders?

The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture.
