Blender To Godot 4.x with Collision Mesh Made In Blender

Godot Settings

1. Editor → Editor Settings
2. FileSystem → Import → Blender Path → Select Blender executable

Blender

1. Have some object with a mesh
2. Create a custom collision object that will act as the collision mesh and add -colonly suffix to its name, -convcolonly if it's convex
3. Select collision object → Select mesh object
4. CTRL + P → Set Parent To → Object (Keep Transform)

Workflow

• Save the .blend to your Godot project folder and it will automatically import your scene and set up all the nodes for you
• In Blender +Y is front +X is right
• In Godot -Z is front +X is right
• Use look_at(..., use_model_front=true) and Vector3.MODEL_* constants when rotating to respect asset orientation
• Use front-aware functions for characters
• Use world/cardinal alignment for maps
• Avoid hardcoding rotations and prefer engine helpers
