Godot 3.1: Creating a Simple 3D Game: Part 1 (Intro, Nodes & 3D Physics)

Thanks for watching! In this Godot Game Engine tutorial I cover:
- A little about the Godot Game Engine (history, development, technology used, etc)
- Where to download the Godot Game Engine, and what platforms it is available for. (www.godotengine.org, for Win / Mac / Linux)
- Godot's Interface: panels (docks), workspaces, viewports
- How to navigate the 3D viewport: mouse and keyboard view controls, splitting the viewport into multiple view. Keyboard shortcuts for views (front/side/top)
- Introduction to Nodes: building blocks of a Godot game, which are created in a node 'tree'.
- Creating a 3D scene including rigid body objects, static objects, collision shapes, light and camera.
- Playing a game scene with physics running where blocks fall and tumble on the ground floor.

[@morisjohn4167]

I cried when everything worked fine... not a single error and I actually understood a tutorial.. I've already watched your Blender tutorial, now it's safe to say that everything in your channel is a masterpiece..🤘

[@BornCG]

✌️

[@dzmo-official]

So true my friend. I was not good at all (still not that good) but it makes you feel like a master and let’s you make crazy high quality games and builds you to do advanced things! And you can still do the advanced things with the engine! I cried when my game worked fine to! :) You speak true my friend

[@rtsa4633]

This video is extremely well made and a must watch for anyone getting into the engine.

[@michaelwsheeler]

As always...so easy to understand. So easy to follow. Great pacing. Very little need to pause the video and rewind. I very much look forward to your next installment in this series. You helped me a ton with your Blender series in the past and I look forward to your covering the 2.8 version once it is stable. Thank you so much for producing these.

[@heckyes]

You can tell you have immense experience and talent as a teacher. I'm so thankful I discovered this series.

[@tenofhearts99]

This was the clearest first tutorial I've done so far as a brand new programmer. I feel confident in what I learned because every step was clearly presented and did exactly what you said. Bravo!!

[@NOPerative]

Wow. Phenom. Can't say enough and what I could has already been expressed.

[@patrickg2416]

I was looking for a C++ tutorial for GoDot but the love in your comments is keeping me here for the series! Bad math teacher after bad math teacher left me with a weak fundamental set of skills in that subject area, game development has really piqued my interest in not just programming or game design, but going back to teach myself Algebra 1, 2, College Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, and eventually the Calculus books I slogged through attempting to keep up in a college class. It's encouraging to know there are teachers out there implementing game engines into the curriculum if nothing else but to help students visualize what happens as you manipulate a function or play with the fundamental concepts of physics. A popular math website that covers the basic concepts has a SUPER COOL animation of a sine wave with the corresponding in-real-time graph of the unit circle below it. Seeing the beauty of that really hit me that all those years of hating mathematics was simply because there wasn't a way to 'put it into practice', or to see what those concepts really mean when they're calculated with time. Kids really need to SEE it to believe it and I hope video series like this one teaching the open source engines draw more of the younger generation into programming and mathematics because I certainly wish I had it and I'm only 26! In addition, the logic of programming I find incredibly healthy because it challenges you, forces you, to alter your perspective and think from another point of view. Thank you for all of your work and I'm excited to get started!

[@FanboyKisser]

I remember when this was my first ever Godot tutorial. Ah good times!

[@stevesmith9973]

I love your Blender tutorials and am very excited to see your Godot tutorials! Great first tutorial BTW!

[@d35a13g2]

Thank you for such a great tutorial. I think this was the first programming tutorial where I didn't constantly have to pause the video because of the speed. Everything is thoroughly explained, yet it's not to slow or boring. I will definitely follow your other tutorials as well. Thank you

[@RodrigoMendes-bd3bp]

One of the most well produced video for learners, very well focused, explained, highlighted, simplified, perfect for understanding. Thanks a lot man

[@MH-lr6ue]

I've been learning GODOT.....I started with the 2D side. This is my first time messing with 3D. This was way more fun than I thought. Im happy you were the first video I found. You speak with high energy and clarity. I'm very excited to complete this tutorial.

[@LoneWolfUKgaming]

Been searching for content on how to start using Godot, and found this series. Great tutorial. Suddenly the engine doesn't feel as daunting to look at. Thank you for this video. Looking forward to completing the series.

[@linktothepassed]

You should be hired on to teach anything and everything. You could teach absolutely anyone with how thorough you are, your patience and the way you talk. Thanks!!!

[@jackmakmorn]

Started this year to work on videogames, first used Krita, changed to Blender and from another game-engine to Godot. Worked a lot with frames I shot of my characters in Blender and thought about going 3D now, but had no idea about how it works. Found your tutorial and it is great! You explain very well and I understood everything directly - by this the start with 3D becomes fun instead of an annoying thing. Thank you for your tutorial, you've got my subscription right away :)

[@rasmuskarlsson3690]

Awesome, one of the best tutorials I have ever stumble upon. Very well done.

[@user-ur5pj9ln8l]

I love the way you explain things, perfect pace and thoroughness

[@romanbondaruk6873]

You are the very best tech tutor I have come across in a long while...clear explanation, well structured and most importantly no prior learning assumptions made what so ever. A fabulous intro into Godot...thank you so much.

[@mohammedk2790]

I really wanted to say thankyou from my bottom of heart. I completed all ur blender tutorial and learned from other youtubers. Tbh urs is perfect for a beginner. After completing blender tutorial of urs i just gave a try to godot (never heard of it b4) and watched this, and i understood everything clearly.

[@legendaryphoenix8607]

hey man very well done beautiful tutorial. i have seen many godot tutorials out there and this is obviously the best. you explained it in a simple yet professional way and I instantly understood it when I usually need to watch videos more than twice to understand.

[@michamarzec9786]

Thanks for the tutorial. Looking forward for next episodes. You are really good at explaining stuff. I learnt a lot just from one video. Ameizing ;)

[@axeduniverse2366]

OMG!!! nice to see this channel still exists,, you helped me get started in blender!

[@___aZa___]

This is a wonderful Tutorial! I understood everything from start to end and it was really entertaining. Never saw one this good!

What a terrific teacher and what a cool project! The level of attention given to this is amazing. Every time I wondered about something it was like he read my mind and gave a clear perfect explanation in 5 seconds. Following this step by step is a blast. Thank you so much!

[@BornCG]

Thanks, and happy to help!

[@f1zzler._.]

Hey man I found out this channel because an instructor from Shaw Academy in Ireland suggested me your tutorial. Thanks!

[@daemyno]

Watching only the introduction, already subscribed :)

[@NeLsInFiNiTy]

Amazing content and tutorial. I'm running this Godot engine on version 4.1.1 and was still able to follow along with their few minor name changes to things, but it was simple to follow and recreate what you have shown. Love the video, thank you :)

[@plastic2666]

Just finished going thru all parts of the 3-D series, it was a great overview of the program and worth the time.

[@mrCetus]

At first i was unsure about starting this series, as i was a godot noob. TLDR; this course is epic. Would recommend to anyone starting out with godot. You have explained everything beautifully. Thank you sir.

[@clodgozon3968]

"If you wanna refix the parenting" YES please.

[@ubgamer9702]

I know you probably won’t read this, but if you do: I’m so happy you made this video. Two years ago, I had been using blender to make games by following your tutorials. Then I saw this video. I had never heard of Godot before this, and then I tried it. Now it’s my favorite game engine of all time, and it’s all because of you! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@BornCG]

☺️

[@Paperhooman]

this is amazing thanks alot for such a useful tutorial! your channel honestly deserves more views with the level of quality

[@nightmare-anatomy]

Wow I am seriously grateful for this video. I randomly got a major urge to learn a game engine on my work break and instead of turning me away this video made me feel like i can really do it!! :)

[@jorie100]

I just changed from UPBGE to Godot, I am currently 21 but I still remember watching your tutorials way back in 2015. It was so refreshing to see you on the first option that appears on KZbin about introducing to Godot. I'm finally studying programing on college so I decided to change the page and see if managed to learn this. Really looking forward to this, hope you dont drop this serie. (sorry for shitty english)

[@pinkmilkcartel]

incredible. clear explanation and great start to what im sure will be an incredible finish. thank you for creating and uploading this.

[@pabletoday9782]

This video was beautiful. The explanation of every component of the engine is great. Subscribed.

[@GaryParkin]

Thank you. This is my first introduction to the Godot engine. I've spent the last 3 years learning different engines and 2 years on Unreal. A friend suggested I try Godot. It seems very user friendly. When i saw you also used Blender, I had to try your video. I enjoy your voice and the tutorial timing is just right for a beginner. Godot has a lot of similarities to Unreal. You just have to know where to look. I'm truly looking forward to this course.

[@sachadedesse]

Your explanations are actually clearer than the doc, thank you so much for your work !

[@NeilRoy]

Very well done. I love your style of teaching so I look forward to the rest of this series.

[@BornCG]

Thanks!

Such smooth and calm voice, nice tutorial!

[@adrymateoramon7087]

Man, if someone hasn't show you love, I'm here bro, I love you. I was tired of watching horrible tutorials, then I got here and this is INVALUABLE 💙💙💙💙, what a great video, always straight to the point, showing different ways of doing things, explaining what you should and what you should not use, this is not a simple great tutorial, this is THE GREAT TUTORIAL even though is 3y old 👏👏👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

[@BornCG]

[@_Smileyyy]

when i first saw the intro of this video, i thought: "this is my kinda youtuber" awesome stuff man keep it up

[@alfredjgreen]

Incredibly useful! Thanks for the amazing and clear headed explanations!

[@chrisbarnes3864]

I just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you. Ive wanted to become a game dev for most of my life and now that im a stay at home father, i have time to learn. These have proven easy enough for me to learn and i appreciate all the effort youve put into making these series.

[@BornCG]

Glad I could help! 😉

[@lawrenicium2845]

I started learning Blender 1 and a half year ago with your videos and now I am starting to learn Godot once again with your videos. I hope I become as good as I am in Blender in Godot as well.

[@wukongmain2075]

Just started Godot and i plan to follow along this tutorial, I wonder if i can marathon the series aha. I learned so much already in just this one video!! Amazing content.

[@infinitygraphics3495]

i don't have any word to express my gratitude. Thank you very much for this series.

[@TheNameIWantedWasTuk]

your way of explaing things is so straight forward its great

[@MrPicklepod]

This channel is amazing, super high quality!

[@mmuizhassan5708]

Really glad to see borncg make a tutorial on godot ♡

[@fjonesjones2]

Just found your channel too! Really liked this, great video. Being a Blender user of many years and just started learning Godot, ( am also a Unity user), I will be following all your videos. Yes, and your Blender tutorials! ( one is always learning and can always pick up new tips etc.). You have a very easy, clear and enthusiastic style... nice! Keep up the good work.. ;-)

[@cipherbloom]

Thanks a million for this. Perfect tutorial--thank you for showing common mistakes and being so cheerful. Looking forward to the next!

[@BornCG]

Thanks!

[@karaczurin]

This is pure gold. For someone who has no experience in game development this is a brilliant and so much inspiring. Anybody needs to start somewhere and it is truly respectfull in terms how you deal with the users with little programming knowlegde here. Yes, it might be obvious to other people that you do this and then that, but for me it is not. It is so well explained, with all details needed, so you start to understand what this is all about. Also this section with errors is excellent too. You might have great potential in becoming a great game developer but if you are struggling too much and your problems are considered to be obvious for anyone else so nobody even bothers to inform you that you actually might be missing some small details, then the only thing you will get is the frustration and you will give up eventually. Therefore, this is so cool that you are spending time on the basic problems like error because there is no mesh assigned to the new object, etc. I have been trying to make something in Unity. Changing the resolution to make it look more like pixel art seemed to be a challenge: new camera, new canvas, new raw texture, some coding and you are done... If something as simple as that requires some advanced knowledge = piss off. This is my first day I tried Godot and I feel such relief that someone thought of non programmers. Thank you and cheers!

[@paracetamolparadox]

Exactly what I was looking for. You just earned a sub :)

[@serpentav422]

thank you for making this video this is the vid I needed I have been looking for something like this for hours thank you : )

[@andrewmartin8612]

I have experience with both Unreal and Unity and I am impressed with Godot it seems very well laid out and you are an excellent teacher. I concur with the other comments please continue making more 3D tutorials with Godot.

[@thomaseubank1503]

The way coincidences drop out of nowhere. Work and school took me away from this hobby for a couple of months and when I came back I decided to look into blender tutorials. When I returned to Godot I found that several things had changed, but luckily BornCG is starting a series on it all of a sudden. Miracles....

[@FisoMio]

really thank you, you are explaining the gui and how to use camera in the scene and so on what is so much needed for beginners. And you are speaking very clearly, so I could follow you very well, although i am not english native speaker.

[@dzonemanarmy]

The way you are doing this video ... i love it

[@BornCG]

Thank you!

just watching this video out of curiosity (not planning a game) but it seems like a really good tutorial. YT is amazing for people sharing knowledge free of charge. There was a time when you'd have to pay for a course to get knowledge like this, with no alt option, such as YT. Thanks for your hard work making and editing videos to share knowledge free of charge ;-)
