Beautiful 3D animated game characters for the Godot game engine, ready to drag and drop into your projects

3D Characters Repository

This repository contains our open-source 3D models, pre-configured and compatible with Godot game engine version 4. The models have been tested and are ready to be used out of the box.

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Drag and drop the desired folder(s) from the models directory into your project.
3. After Godot imports the character, you can now use it in your project
4. To use the model, you need to instantiate the model_name_skin.tscn scene. This is the default scene where the model is set up and where you can call specific methods.

Models

godot-4-3d-characters's Issues

[Gobot] [Import Issue] Models will not properly import if the files are not in a res://models/ folder

Just wanted to note that importing only seems to work when you drag a character model folder to res://models/{your model file here}. Failing to do this messes up the model

License, and GitHub discoverability features

Thanks as always for providing these epic resources!

The repository is lacking some GitHub-specific features, such as a description, website, and labels. These are surprisingly important for organic discovery (assuming the goal is to get lots of people using the assets :P)

On top of that, the license isn't clear to me. The readme says these are 'open source', so I assume the license is permissive, but it would be awesome if you would clarify with a license file. Even permissive licenses like MIT or CC0 have some subtle differences/restrictions.

I actually checked your website and I think it might be this one? https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/, which requires attribution (that's fine, but it's just good to be clear about these things).

Move code documentation into the scripts

Godot 4 has built-in docs generation features. Instead of putting technical docs in the readme where people can miss it, and we can forget to update, we should move the docstrings into the character scripts, where they'll carry on into the users' projects.
