Time for a 3D Godot tutorial! Learn how to make a character move smoothly in 3D: Walk, run, jump and fall. This one is a third person character controller you can reuse in your projects.

You can build on this cute little demo, (I call it "Starry Canyon") to create your own levels and maybe even a mini-race for Sophia!
Let's go!
