Godot 3.1: Creating a Simple 3D Game: Part 3 (Importing from Blender, Rolling & Keys)

[@Bananeisafree]

Great Tutorials and Great video ! Thank you so much for your hard work ! If Anyone is interested, I found (at my very humble level) a simple way to make the ball mesh rotate more "naturally" relative to the player speed . I don't know if BornCG will tackle that is a later video (if so I'll remove this comment). Basically you want to remove the lines associated to the rotation and just place a the top of the _physics_process(delta) function two line that associates the rotation with the velocity associated. In plain code you would have : $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(velocity.z)) That way the ball will rotate at the same speed as the body is moving, so when you stop and the inertia of the lerp keeps the ball moving, it will keep on rotating slower and slower until the body stops. Hopes it helps someone ! Cheers !!! Cheers !

[@bellobods]

Thank you so much!

[@mikewest5670]

Write $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) and $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(velocity.z)) at the end of each else statement

[@imquit1508]

thx

[@vincernio]

Thanks! Was sitting here thinking up all sorts of complex ways I could handle matching the rotation on the lerp, but I never even considered this simple and efficient solution.

[@medicinaytalojacs658]

Not perfect... but good enough. Thanks!

[@macgyvermankirk572]

I was trying to do the same sort of thing by messing around with lerp, it didn't work. Thanks!

[@TubeJosch]

$MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-ROTSPEED * velocity.x/SPEED)) and $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(ROTSPEED * velocity.z/SPEED)) should be ideal

[@noiJadisCailleach]

[@arg3882]

loll same

[@jbanimations8475]

@@arg3882 Yeah those tutorials kickass.

[@HiddenWindshield]

Just FYI: You don't need a separate constant for the speed of rotation. Since the ball is 1 unit in radius, it will roll 1 radian every time it moves 1 unit. So you can just base the rotation off the velocity vector. (Although one complication is that move_and_slide uses the delta variable automatically, but the rotate methods don't, so you have to do it yourself.) Just add: $MeshInstance.rotate_z(-velocity.x * delta) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(velocity.z * delta) to the bottom of your script and the rotation will always work out perfectly, no matter how you change your speed or whatever.

[@GaryParkin]

Now that's way cool. It also fixes the ball skidding when it is stopping in the lerp. Thank you. I'll use this.

[@marta_na_moto]

You're my hero. As there is this lerp in the video that author conveniently skipped. I searched thorugh the docs to find how to extract current location from the mesh while your solution is just so idiotically simple.. thanks a looot

[@CalmProto]

Very helpful, thank you. In Godot 4.0.3 it is now: $MeshInstance3D.rotate_z(-velocity.x * delta) $MeshInstance3D.rotate_x(velocity.z * delta)

[@infectia1965]

Yea he teaches so well !!!

[@joel2430]

Great tutorial! :) Highly recommended. I was a bit annoyed that the diagonal speed was higher, so added these lines at the end of the function func _physics_process(delta): if ((Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up") or Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down")) and (Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left") or Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"))): velocity = velocity.normalized() velocity *= SPEED move_and_slide(velocity)

The more I learn about Godot the more I'm impressed about how dynamic and organized it is.

[@MikevomMars]

Yeah, but simply importing files seems to be a headache 😐

[@GaryParkin]

@@MikevomMars lol, you should try Unreal Engine. Nothing imports right without serous thought. And the skeletons import tiny.

[@_perovskia]

Whenever I watch tutorial videos, I always expect to learn one thing simply in the scope of the tutorial. However with these tutorials, they are PERFECTLY on point with what I plan doing with Godot to the point that it becomes spooky! This video is 3+ years old and it still perfectly strikes what I need, thank you!

This is how my script ended up: ``` extends KinematicBody """ Steve é a bola mais fofa do universo CG. :3 """ export var speed: float = 5 export var accelaration: float = .1 var velocity := Vector3.ZERO func _ready() -> void: print("Hello 3D Wolrd!") func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void: var strenght := get_input_axis() * speed var motion := Vector2( lerp(velocity.x, strenght.x, accelaration), lerp(velocity.z, strenght.y, accelaration) ) velocity.x = motion.x velocity.z = motion.y $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-motion.x)) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(motion.y)) velocity = move_and_slide(velocity) func get_input_axis() -> Vector2: """ Retorna o input do usuário em forma de uma direção bidimensional.

[@5Puff]

r/Ihadastroke

[@heckyes]

Can you teach me everything from now on?

[@JTCF]

One cool thing to do by yourself is try to make rotation depend on speed. Some math gets involed and it's pretty interesting. And it looks awesome, especially since we're using lerp (which I also used for acceleration, not just stopping)

[@Speed-TV]

I have a question, so what do you do with all of that extra stuff you created like the playerball scene and the stuff in the imports folder

[@bryanmarrrty3674]

You're very good at teaching!! Thank you very much for these tutorials. They've been very helpful on guiding me how to use Godot. I played around by myself and led me to this: Almost everything's the same except that the root node of my ball scene is a RigidBody instead of a KinematicBody and the shape of its CollisionShape is a SphereShape. As a result, the behaviour of the ball looked more natural and the ball will fall off the edge rather than floating mid-air. Here's my script: ``` extends RigidBody const movementSpeed = 25 func _ready(): pass func _physics_process(delta): var xSpeed = Input.get_action_strength("ui_right") - Input.get_action_strength("ui_left") var zSpeed = Input.get_action_strength("ui_down") - Input.get_action_strength("ui_up") var movementVec = Vector3(xSpeed, 0, zSpeed) * movementSpeed add_central_force(movementVec) ```

[@andreemcaldas]

At 25:20, it is called "right-hand rule": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule#A_rotating_body Your thumb points along "axis z", because you are using "rotate_z". Also, as @HiddenWindshield points out, radians is very good! That's because if you multiply "angle in radians" by "sphere radius", you have the amount the sphere has rolled on the ground. Therefore, the angle in radians would be (with the appropriate sign) (delta * speed) / radius.

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

One thing I've noticed is the mesh of the sphere suddenly stops spinning when you let go of the arrow keys. If you don't want it to suddenly stop, but gradually slow down just as the KinematicBody does, in both "else:" areas of the script, add $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) and see if that works. else: velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x,0,0.12) $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) else: velocity.z = lerp(velocity.z,0,0.12) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(velocity.z*delta) I found out that velocity.z*delta also appears to work.

[@sergiosuarez3120]

Dude thank you for making these! :) you teach things in a super clear way. Looking to get into this engine and your tutorials are way better than many of the paid ones, so least i can do is subscribe and like every video! Keep up the great work.

[@LiveDimi]

One Question, when I add the Material on the Floor (The Colour) and play the Scene, I get a flickering Floor. Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks in advance :)

[@dedhead9322]

Another great tutorial! I did come across a very easy fix for the diagonal speed issue. If you normalize the speed it solves the problem. I posted it in my comment on the last video. This is my code after this tutorial: extends KinematicBody export var SPEED = 10 export var ROTSPEED = 8.5 func _ready(): pass func _physics_process(delta): var velocity = Vector3(0,0,0) if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"): velocity.x += 1 $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-ROTSPEED)) if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"): velocity.x -= 1 $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(ROTSPEED)) if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"): velocity.z -= 1 $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(-ROTSPEED)) if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"): velocity.z += 1 $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(ROTSPEED)) if velocity.length() > 0: velocity = velocity.normalized() * SPEED move_and_slide(velocity)

[@sorayabraz]

Thank you so much! Your tip is so usefull, it should be at the beginning of the comments!! This issue almost drove me crazy, haha!

[@ErikScott128]

Alternative code to implement the rotation: if velocity.length() > 0.01: # Use a small value here rather than zero because of floating-point nonsense. var ang_vel = -velocity.length() var ang_delta = ang_vel * delta var rot_axis = velocity.cross(Vector3(0,1,0)).normalized() $MeshInstance.rotate(rot_axis, ang_delta) $MeshInstance.orthonormalize() Line-by-line explanation: We don't want to calculate rotation if the velocity is 0, or very close to zero, so we wrap all this in an if statement. This is because some of the math falls apart if we have a vector with magnitude 0, or very close to 0. The angular speed in radians/sec is just going to be the linear velocity divided by the radius of the ball. The ball has a radius of 1, so it's just the linear velocity. I had to throw in a negative sign because of the order in which I took the cross product. Because we're changing the angle, not the angular rate, we need to get the change in angle associated with the velocity for one step. We can use the delta variable here, which is the physics time step. This is line here is simple numerical integration. We can find the axis of rotation as the cross product of the linear velocity and the "up" (y-axis) vector (this should actually be the contact normal, but we're only rolling on a flat plane here) We can now tell the mesh instance to rotate about that vector by the change in angle calculated earlier. Lastly, we othonormalize the transform matrix, which is good to do periodically.

[@voxeledphoton]

Awesome! I was doing something kinda similar. Great explanations, and thanks for letting me know about the floating-point nonsense! This is what I had: func _physics_process(delta): hdir = int(Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right")) - int(Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left")) vdir = int(Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down")) - int(Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up")) velocity += (Vector3(hdir*SPEED,0,vdir*SPEED) - velocity)/10 if velocity!=Vector3.ZERO: $MeshInstance.rotate( Vector3.direction_to(Vector3(velocity.z,velocity.y,-velocity.x)), Vector3.ZERO.distance_to(velocity)/SPEED/PI/DIAMETER ) move_and_slide(velocity)

[@thegamingforge8347]

make more tutorials for 3d games in godot

[@Mark73]

What works perfectly is to feed your velocity into the deg2rad function (flip the sign for rotate_z). Basically after your two if blocks do: $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(velocity.z))

[@Speed-TV]

I noticed how when you stop moving the ball slows down but it doesn't keep rotating. How do you change that

[@segsfault]

Instead of calling deg2rad function everytime your want to rotate, you can make a constant on the top and then use that. example: const playerRotation = deg2rad(5) And then here your can tweak it accordingly and computer will not have to calculate the value everytime

[@GaryParkin]

So a constant can be a function? That's cool.

[@segsfault]

@@GaryParkin no, deg2rad converts the given value in degree to radian and returns it, so what we're doing is we're converting 5 degree to radian and using it later, now since 5 degree to radian is always the same we just separate it out so we don't need to calculate the same thing again.

[@GaryParkin]

@@segsfault OH! I get it. The function runs once and stores the result in the constant. Still pretty neat. Thank you for the clarification Aditya.

[@MncMarcos]

I am very picky with little details haha, so, if you are like me, and you are annoyed by the sphere texture not rotating during the lerp function (the friction), i improvised this: velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x,0,0.1) $MeshInstance.rotate.z(deg2rad(lerp(-velocity.x,0,0.1))) and velocity.z = lerp(velocity.z,0,0.1) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(lerp(velocity.z,0,0.1)))

[@Galaxia53]

Yes it worked! Although because you wrote down .z instead of _z it didn't work for a while and I wondered why.

[@hick3y1]

So far so good, i have my ball rotating, i was getting tilted that the rolling animation stopped the moment i let go of a direction while the ball still moved during the lerp, so i made a lerp for the rolling too, if anyone else wants to do this, then make 2 variables named ROT_UD and ROT_LR, these are for up/down and left/right. set them to 0, then set both to 0 when you are holding both left and right (same for up and down) now set them accordingly to the direction (while holding left set to 5, while holding right set to -5 etc) then finally underneath velocity lerp add these velocity.x = lerp (velocity.x,0,0.1) ROT_LR = lerp (ROT_LR,0,0.08) $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(ROT_LR)) duplicate this to up and down like you did with the otherstuff and that should work like mine :) hope this helps

[@mikewest5670]

i just wrote $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) in my else statement.... it looks pretty damn close to accurate

[@t.theonian24]

Could you post the actual code? Mine still stops instantly, so I'm obviously doing something wrong... It does rotate correctly, though.

Just a note to make the code better: if u add in the else statement $MeshInstance3D.rotate_z(deg_to_rad(-velocity.x)) and $MeshInstance3D.rotate_x(deg_to_rad(velocity.z)) respectively, it will make the ball keep rotating with the velocity that was assignated with the lerp function/method.

[@adaline_exports]

You can map rotation directly to the velocity of the player with rotate_z(deg2rad(velocity.x))

[@ZivFox]

ok just decided to start learning Godot, (I have almost no coding experience aside from this series) This is the first tutorial I started following. I wasn't happy with how the ball rolled by the end of the video so I was thinking of a way to tie the mesh rotation to the speed and direction of the ball and I came up with this. if velocity.x != 0: $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(velocity.x*-.7)) if velocity.z != 0: $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(velocity.z*.7)) and it looks great! the mesh rotates with the speed and direction of the ball. I'm sure there is a better way to do this but I'm just happy I came up with it on my own.

[@AntonioNoack]

25:50 *but what you should do is appreciating radians ;), because we just can use them for such thing: we rotate by speed * delta / radius (radius = 1, speed was 6, the result is 5.73° at 60fps)

[@MidnightTsuki]

Ball rotates till a complete stop with this. The rotation speed is also affected by the movement speed. if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right") and Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"): velocity.x = 0; elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"): velocity.x = SPEED; # $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-8)); elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"): velocity.x = -SPEED; else: velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x, 0, 0.1); if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up") and Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"): velocity.z = 0; elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"): velocity.z = -SPEED; elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"): velocity.z = SPEED; else: velocity.z = lerp(velocity.z, 0, 0.1); if velocity.x >= 0.0 or velocity.x = 0.0 or velocity.z

[@BacnManYT]

You are an amazing teaher I went from not knowing how to doing anything in godot to knowing how to mess with meshes and coding in the native language GDscript, I am lucky to have found such a gem, it also helps that GDscript is simlar to python as I did some python coding in school, but you break it down better than anyone could thank you!

[@VikingVertigo]

To fix the diagonal speed and rotation issue, check if the length of the velocity vector is greater than SPEED, if it is, normalize it and then multiply it with SPEED so the length of the vector is now equal to SPEED: if velocity.length() > SPEED: velocity = velocity.normalized() * SPEED To fix the rotation, you can just use the velocity vector for rotation as well (will also decelerate, because it is already lerped).So you can basically remove all the $MeshInstance.rotate_ from the if statements and treat them just like the move_and_slide. Just add it before or after it: $MeshInstance.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(velocity.z)) move_and_slide(velocity)

[@vojtastruhar8950]

For the ball rolling this works pretty well in my opinion: mesh.rotate_z(deg2rad(-velocity.x)) mesh.rotate_x(deg2rad( velocity.z)) The velocity is already normalized, so you dont get faster rotation when rolling diagonally. Anyways cool video!

[@marykadlubowski553]

When you were coding the Steve ball mesh rotations, why wasn't your constant ROTSPEED = (deg2rad(6)) ? Will it cause trouble elsewhere? I love the series. I watch a part all the way through, itching to start, then watch it again to follow along. I also am making a document with the URL code for each step, so I can jump back and forth quickly. I am just sad I didn't start it until now.

[@ronstephen]

hey, I got an even better and easy idea to rotate that ball. at the end of the lines add: $MeshInstance.rotate_z(-deg2rad(velocity.x)) $MeshInstance.rotate_x(deg2rad(velociy.z)) thanks for your tutorial and inspiration.

[@frikabg]

8:36 about importing the files for the ball. Currently the blender version that I am using is 4.0.0. The blender website is down because it is being DDOS attacked atm so I downloaded this version from the Microsoft store. The options when it comes to extracting files is quiet different but the export process isn't that hard you should be ok. What is very different is the files that you have to copy after you extract the immage with blender. For me after you export the ball image from blender you have 4 files and unless you copy all of them the ball is not loading properly in Godot. the 4 files are playerball.bin playerball.gltf luxo.png and luxopng.import

[@xXBrutus67Xx]

If someone cannot import correctly the ball and its material, make sure you have these nodes in Blender : image texture - Principled BSDF - Material output. If your nodes are image texture - Material output, it doesn't work in Godot.

The natural rolling speed for a ball is 3 degrees/sec irl. Just change the ROTSPEED constant to 3 and the ball rotation should look more natural.

Godot has full support for both .glb and .gltf versions of the format, so it shouldn't make a difference which one you choose. glb is probably actually better for final releases since it produces smaller file sizes.
