Godot Export

GLTF/GLB first. Clean nodes. Godot-friendly materials and animation.

When to Use

• Shipping meshes/animations to Godot 4.x
• GLB single-file props and characters
• Simple collision companions

Pre-Flight

1. asset-optimization PASS
2. Apply transforms; Y-up friendly hierarchy
3. Materials metallic-roughness compatible

Format

Case	Format
Default	GLB
Editable sidecar textures	GLTF separate

Settings

Format: GLB
+Y Up
Apply Modifiers: ON (when final)
Animation: include when needed

Hierarchy

• Root empty or object named for scene root
• Avoid deep useless empties
• Keep collision meshes clearly named COL_ / UCX_ style

Materials

• Principled BSDF → GLTF PBR
• Pack images or keep relative paths consistent
• Emission only where intended

Animation

• NLA or actions exported as clips
• Name actions AN_[Clip]
• Root motion documented if used

Verify in Godot

• Scale
• Import materials
• Animation libraries
• Collision shapes

Constraints

MUST DO

• Prefer GLB unless project says otherwise
• Test import once
• Keep naming consistent with naming-conventions.md

MUST NOT DO

• Rely on Blender-only shader nodes that do not export
