Vroid to Blender to Godot 4 for animations without upload to Mixamo Charles Dodge 2024-02-18 | Here a short tutorial for such thing, I don't usually to voice tutorials, volume or audio may be poor. First part of the video I show how you to import the Vroid VRM into Godot 4 without the import plugin. Then I show you how to import in Blender for animation and blendshape tutorials. Couple things I forgot to mention is that you can export the model as .blend file and import to Godot 4, that is my preferred style, in video I showed how to export as glb, either one works. also, once you saved the character scene(.tscn). I forgot to show the blendshapes do work in Godot 4, just click on body material, and their should be a tab called Blendshapes. Hopefully this helps anyone that is struggling. Thank you.(Note: You can use Vroid in game development including making a character creator, as long you don't have an export feature, their EULA was a bit confusing, I did contact them and confirmed, it is okay to use for game, if doing a character creator, if you have questions do contact them.)CATS plugin for blender - github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin/tree/developmentROKOKO plugin for blender - rokoko.com/integrations/blenderMixamo - mixamo.com/#
Racer demo in Kajiya render in realtime and path tracing hybrid Charles Dodge 2025-03-20 | Finally got the Cornell MCRay Tracer demo compiled and built after a few minor issues. I’ve been playing around with it a bit and really love the graphics. It ran smoothly on my Ryzen 3 with an RTX 3060 12GB GPU running Mint Linux 22. I’m planning to experiment more and even create my own track to fully test the potential of the renderer.
Godot 4 TPS Level Test with Kajiya render in Realtime Charles Dodge 2025-02-18 | Exported the Godot 4 TPS level to glTF and imported it into Blender to remove the ceiling and the light shaft cones, allowing better interior lighting in the Kajiya viewer, which supports only one light source. After exporting as GLB and loading it into the viewer, the scene remained unchanged except for the removed ceiling and shaft light cones. The result looks stunning, running smoothly at 50 FPS in 1920x1080 on an RTX 3060. The scene does have a HDRI environment map. Note: this is standalone viewer, not a render for Godot 4.
Another test, clothing and human head in Kajiya renderer Charles Dodge 2025-02-10 | Just trying out the clothing and head in Kajiya renderer, I just put it in the viewer and made some minor adjustments, I have no control on specular, normal and do not know if there is any SSS. running at about 125 fps at 1920x1080 on a RTX 3060, this is a hybrid path tracing.
Path Tracing Hybrid - Kajiya Render emissive test. Charles Dodge 2025-02-08 | Playing more with Kajiya render with default viewer, currently I am programming my version of a full version from scratch, first time in Rust language. I am impressed the real-time graphic capabilities , running at 1920x1080 at about 50 fps on a Ryzen 3 3100 and RTX 3060, while recording at 60 fps. All models are from Sketchfab, and ground is from Fab, Megascans.
Quixel Megascans Test on Kajiya Renderer Charles Dodge 2025-01-26 | Imported the Megascans Bazaar and the African Slate Quarry models into the Kajiya render viewer. I only can do model placements and adjust the sun position. The fps is around solid 52 fps. Specs are Ryzen 3100 with 32GB RAM, RTX 3060 with 12GB, and Mint Linux 22. The Robot is from Sketchfab.
Unreal? Unity? Godot? Nope! Meet Kajiya in realtime (Not a Game Engine, yet?) Charles Dodge 2025-01-24 | Testing the Kajiya renderer on a Ryzen 3100 paired with an RTX 3060. The performance is impressive! While I couldn't measure the FPS since I'm running this on Linux, it feels incredibly smooth overall. The renderer is powered by the Rust programming language, showcasing its capabilities. There is some very minor ghosting noticeable, but the smoothness is excellent. Any stuttering in the video is due to the 60 FPS recording, not the renderer itself. All assets used are from Sketchfab or Fab (Quixel Megascans).github.com/EmbarkStudios/kajiya/tree/main
Realtime Godot 4.2 not Unreal, just assets from Unreal. Charles Dodge 2024-06-12 | Exported Unreal demo asset as GLTF, and import in Godot 4.2. Had to lower the lights down, and fix a couple textures. The assets is here :unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/fantasy-interior-environmentSpecs:Ryzen 3 310032 GB RAMRTX 3060LinuxAn Lightmap GI with 3 reflection probes in scene. No SDFGI, and no TAA. It is smooth, the jerkiness is from my cheap mouse, and recording at 60 fps.
Anime Character Creation using GCCS addon for my game. WIP. Godot 4 Charles Dodge 2024-01-31 | Been working on anime(Vroid) model update/transfer to the Godot character creation suite. A lot of trial and error since the manual is very vague. Very few items transferred for testing. I have all blendshapes completed in Blender for the female model, just have to punch in the settings in the GCCS. I used shape transfer plugin for the clothing, to match the blendshapes of the anime model.This will only be used for my game.Some issues I ran to are:it saves only the character, colors, and hair, not the cloths. I will watch a few load/save videos to fix this.Currently, the save character on the built version(export) does not work at all, gonna look into this.I would like to add height, since I cant just use blendshapes for height and so on, cause the skelton3d stays the same size. Gonna dig deeper on this. I know someone has done it, just to contact them.Also once completed, this would be good for making NPC’s as well :DGodot Character Creation Suite Addon:thowsenmedia.itch.io/godot-character-creation-suiteShape Transfer Plugin for Blender :bartoszstyperek.gumroad.com/l/shape_transfer?layout=profileCATS plugin for blender:github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-pluginVroid Studio for anime models:vroid.com/en/studioDisclaimer : I have contacted Vroid Stuidio headquarters and they replied stating it is okay to make a character creator for Godot as long it does not have an export feature, and no separate license is required. (I emailed them due to confusing EULA)
Testing the Vroid character on Godot 4. Charles Dodge 2024-01-05 | I am just testing the animation workthru of rokoko blender addon, wiggle addon and Vroid characters, before I start making a character creator for my game. I have messaged to Vroid creators, and their reply was - it is okay to create a character creator as long it does not have export feature, for in game use only. Since their EULA was a bit confusing. Here are some of the tools I used for the animation :(Note: warning very exaggerated at 17 seconds, you been warned :D)vroid.com/en/studiorokoko.com/integrations/blender - love this tool, no more need to lose your Vroid armature due to uploading to Mixamo. Retaining stuff like hair, and dress armature where i can use wiggle addon.godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1329 - more wiggle addons you use, more the fps will drop.No spatial shader was used, i just used the nextpass trick for the outline, for testing purpose only.youtu.be/_rQGrVMQa6E - short tutorial
Not Unreal, Not Unity, YOU ! (Godot 4) - Environmental test. Charles Dodge 2023-12-30 | Just testing the 3D and GI limitations on Godot, a lot of things are not all LOD or optimized.I probably could push it even farther. SDFGI and reflection probes were used, as well as volumetric fog. Had to record at 1600x900 for smoother video recording, it runs fine at 1920x1080 at 60 fps synced. Running on Ryzen 3100, 32GB RAM and RTX 3060 12GB, and Mint Linux 21.3(Note: Mouse jerking, or stuttering is absent in playmode, it is the recording)Credits :Strong Knight (modified for animations) - sketchfab.com/3d-models/strong-knight-9d912e0fedb44b619fbd2a083bbf174fConifer and Broadleaf (paid asset, modified for Godot by me) - unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/MAWI+United?count=20&sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=0And some blenderkit assets.Addons used :Spatial Gardener - godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1375Simple Grass Textured - godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1623Terrain3D - github.com/TokisanGames/Terrain3D

Godot 4.0 Porsche Lighting Test - Real-time Charles Dodge 2023-04-11 | Testing lighting with HDRI Sky only, expect for a reflection probe for the hubs.No direction lights or any extra lights in this scene. Godot 4.0 on AMD Ryzen 3 3100, RX570 8GB video. The Porsche is from sketch fab, had to do a lot of adjustments to fit more for Godot. This is real-time, No SDFGI, Voxel or Lightmaps used. The video was captured at 1080p upscaled to 4k. Average frame rate 170 fps.sketchfab.com/3d-models/porsche-911-turbo-996-2000-by-alexka-28dbd43350bf462c806d5ba3d608e1cc
Godot can Do Version 2 - Realtime Charles Dodge 2023-04-07 | Thanks for all the feed back from the first video. I did some adjustments, enabling TAA for anti-aliasing. The game play is 1920x1080 recorded and upscaled to 4k. Some people assumed and believed I used movie maker to make the last video. So this is all camera free view, some quick and slow scenes. The jerkiness of panning is me with the mouse, it is a cheap mouse, and while recording it slowed down the smooth gameplay. it is hitting 70 fps before recording. No SDFGI in this one, just one Voxel GI. Screen might seem a bit dark, but I was matching it to the HDRI sky, which was rotated to match the shadows.
unreal Godot - realtime Charles Dodge 2023-03-31 | Series of learning how to make Godot 4 tick. The canyon environment is an export of Rural Australia meshes from Unreal assets. Most of the stuff I could export, trees I could not. The first half of the video is the camera following on a 3D path, then I took over and played in free view style. To demonstrate that it is real gameplay, not recorded in video maker. All of this is running in real-time at 1600x900 resolution on my mere and Ryzen 3 3100 with 32GB and RX 570 8GB video card. The video was upscaled to 2k, hopefully, to show better on Youtube compressions.
