Understand how to use one of the most popular 3D modeling software and advanced game engines to create a seamless workflow between the two and produce dynamic games
Key Features
Learn how to create, rig, and animate 3D low-poly models in Blender
Discover the 3D workflow of Godot Engine and understand how to enhance your models
Use modeling and game design skills to create a dynamic point-and-click game
Book DescriptionGame Development with Blender and Godot is a comprehensive introduction for those new to building 3D models and games, allowing you to leverage the abilities of these two technologies to create dynamic, interactive, and engaging games.
This book will start by focusing on what low-poly modeling is, before showing you how to use Blender to create, rig, and animate your models. You will also polish these assets until they're game-ready, making it easy for you to import them into Godot and use them effectively and efficiently. Next, you will use the game engine to design scenes, work with light and shadows, and transform your 3D models into interactive, controllable assets.
By the end of this book, you will have a seamless workflow between Blender and Godot which is specifically geared toward game development. Alongside, you'll also be building a point-and-click adventure game following the instructions and guidance in the book. Finishing this game will help you take these newly acquired skills and create your own 3D games from conception to completion.

Who this book is forThis book is for game developers who are looking to make the transition from 2D to 3D games. Readers should have a basic understanding of Godot, being able to navigate the UI, understand the inspector panel, create scenes, add scripts to game objects, and more. Previous experience with Blender is helpful but not required.
Kumsal Obuz is a self taught, but veteran web developer with more than 15 years of experience in two different countries, leading teams and projects of various sizes. After several years of preparation and transition, he started his own game studio in August 2020. He launched a small puzzle strategy game at the end of 2020 and is currently working on an ambitious farming simulation game. He also likes to mentor, perhaps due to his genetic background since both of his parents are teachers, and because of his love of Godot, founded and still organizes the Godot Toronto Meetup group.
