Now we are going to configure a pair of animations.

This will set the influence of each bone over the mesh. This will pop up another window, select Automatic Weights: Next hit SHIFT+P to parent the mesh to the bones. Now select our polygon mesh, then holding SHIFT down, select the bones. Now hit TAB again to switch back to Object mode. Repeat this process a couple of times so your model looks something like this (hit Z for xray mode if needed): With the bone selected, switch into Edit mode (Tab), then hit E to extrude and create another bone. You may have to translate and rotate your bone so that itвЂ™s properly oriented at the base of your mesh. With the 3D cursor inside our mesh, select Add->Armature->Single bone. Rigging the ModelДЇirst things first, we have to create an armature to control our animation. WootвЂ¦ our model is done and ready for animating. The only difference between the color and normal channel is we turn off color and instead enable normal, like so:ДЄt this point, if you switch the viewport to Material mode, your model should have a texture and normal map, like so: Once created, rename it to normal, then repeat the above process, this time selecting the normal map from the extracted archive. Next, select the next empty spot in the Textures panel, then click new: Now we are going to repeat the same process, this time for the normal map. There are several steps here, so IвЂ™ve illustrated them in the graphic below.

Simply double click the string to enter edit mode and rename it to whatever you want. Since Material is pretty generic, IвЂ™m going to simply rename it to Thing1Material, like so: The name you specify here is the name you will get when imported into Godot. If there isnвЂ™t, make sure you create one. With your Object selected in the 3D view, check in the Materials tab in the Properties window to make sure that there is a material (there should be). Now in the 3D view, switch to Object mode(this can be done with the TAB key as well as the combo box below).

Now that we are at it, save your Blend file to the same directory as the textures.

For this example, I download the 2k resolution version of this texture from CC0Textures.

First, you are going to need a texture map, you can find tons of free textures over on the Free GameDev resource page. Now that we have our UV Map, itвЂ™s time to apply some textures. The easiest way is to switch into Edit Mode, hit A to select all of the faces, then hit U in the resulting menu select Smart UV Project:ДЄnother dialog will pop up, the defaults are fine, simply click OK. It really doesnвЂ™t matter what you model, the important part is you create a UVMap for it.

Using a combination of extrusions, scaling, and bevels in edit mode, I created the following simple model. One thing to keep in mind, you are going to want to have denser polygons at the вЂњjointsвЂќ where your armature is going to bend or deform. The outcome really doesnвЂ™t matter, so IвЂ™m just going to focus on the parts that are important to the exporting process. The first thing you need to do is model your umвЂ¦ model. If I miss a point, I have created a step by step video of the process of exporting from Blender to Godot as well. So that is exactly what we are going to do in this tutorial, create a simple but rigged, animated and textured model in Blender 2.79, then export it for use in the Godot 3.1 game engine. One of the most common tutorial requests I receive is вЂњHow do I export my 3D models from Blender to Godot?вЂќ and this is a very consistent pain point, regardless of the game engine used.
