In 4.2+ "Lock rotation" is under "Deactivation" in RigidBody inspector.

Man you're the only person I could find who showed how to make a floor mesh without going through 40+ minutes of video first. Thanks so much.

I tried learning Unity, then all of the stuff that happened happened, so like I guess Godot was the best choice as I had some level of experience with it on my old computer, but I don't remember a lot so....@@TheWorldofMO

Awesome Introductory guide, helped me start porting a project from Unity over to Godot after the ongoing debacle with that and this really helped me get a hand on the programming workflow for Godot. For other people who just went through this walkthrough you can make diagonal movements more consistent by normalizing the input Vector by adding '.normalized()' to the end of it, this makes your diagonal movements the same speed as your horizontal movements prevent diagonal running by faster. Thanks Bramwell for doing god's work.

Thanks this tip was really useful.

I found this to have a great pace and level of detail for me. Your editing and commentry are also excellent. Thank you.

Really good job Bramwell. Only issues I have are: If you're using a character mesh that isn't a capsule etc, then you will be able to see that the character does not rotate toward the camera direction as the tutorial stands. Abstracting the raw numbers to a variable is good code practice, creating a move_speed variable for instance. Adding a springarm as a parent of the camera (but still a child of the pivots in this case) is also good practice, as it shouldn't allow (or at least make it less likely) that the camera will clip through objects in the game world. The input direction should be normalized to avoid being able to travel faster than intended in diagonal directions, otherwise the inputs are added together. As a rigidbody is being used, the actual movements should be handled in _physics_process

As a complete noob I have to say this is the best tutorial I have bern through! Please, please do more!

Thanks for the great tutorial. I've been doing something similar recenly, so here are some notes: 14:35 Why not use the "capsule" shape directly? It should be more performant in theory. 14:50 I've had an issue (climbing slopes) with this one and opted to instead lock all 3 angular axis, maybe it will help someone. 17:05 Isn't it better to just call them "built-in functions"? In terms of "virtuality", you can override the user-defined ones as well. 19:50 It is potentially bad to apply physics-related interventions from the "_process" callback. You could switch some internal state from "_process" and then apply force in "_physics_process". Or just set the "constant_force" from "_process", so that the physics thread can apply it when it pleases.

@@sourlesscream1272 I've dabbled with Unreal over the weekend as well. Right now I feel: - Unreal is a superpowerfull piece of software, but has 'it's way of doing things' (I have an existing charactermodel and animationrig, and haven't been able to get it to work as of yet) It also has a whopping 36 gig install size, and my pc doens't run it super smoothly.. - Godot is super lightweight, but with a lot less functionality. (for 3D games at least) With this streamlining comes more of a 'you figure out your own way of doing things' kinda approach, which I appreciate. With help of this wonderful video I could make a simple 3D platformer with an animated character in a couple of hours :) Also my pc runs Godot a lot better than Unreal. It's also open source and a non-profit organisation, which in todays technofeudalistic economy gives them 100 bonuspoints in my book :) So yeah, I'm currently leaning towards Godot. How have you been getting a long?

No disrespect to other helpful creators out there but I've been following loads of godot beginner tutorials, and this guy here is the best by far. He knows how to teach. He's probably a professional teacher.

Just started the video and already I have to say I'm liking your style of explaining things in a concise, yet detailed manner. Seems to be very thorough while being easy to follow for a beginner.👍

At 45:30, instead of using deg_to_rad(), you can actually reference the degrees directly: "pitch_pivot.rotation_degrees.x". So you don't need to convert the clamped values to radians.

Hey man, thanks for this amazing tutorial. I've been an 3D Animator my whole career but for my free time I finally want to get into creating a few of my own games, of course a bit smaller in scale. It was really easy to follow along and you always came back and explained the code we were writing which is super important for me. (I followed other tutorials before and I always kind of accepted "guess this is how it works and I am just not smart enough to get it.") I never coded before, have been severly convinced I am bad at math und it seemed like dark magic but now I look at this little pill with 3D camera and feel proud and smart. :) Will definitly check out your other courses. Cheers!

Thank you for taking the time to make this, it has been extremely helpful

Wonderful tutorial! I'm very new to game development and I was finding myself becoming very discouraged after attempting a few other tutorials and getting super overwhelmed.

This was exceptionally well put together. One of the clearest and most helpful tutorials I've ever watched in general. I've worked in GameMaker for years now, but am considering how feasible it'd be to work in 3D in Godot in the future. Even though I didn't "follow along" with the engine open, I now have a really good sense for how Godot operates and it's actually pretty damn exciting. Definitely keen to give it a proper go now and see what I can russle up through prototyping at some point!

Thank you so much for making this video 🙏🙏🙏

Best starter 3D Godot tutorial I've seen yet. Thank you. I'll be buying the last sections too. Some feedback: In the code writing segments: The slow detailed explanations was really good in most of the tutorial, except for in the code writing segments without lots of pausing and rewinding. Please use one set way of writing the code and explaining - with steps - and tell us that this is how you will be explaining the writing of code at the start of the video, so it's a process to follow for learners each time a code writing segment comes up. E.g. Brief overview of what the code is for, before-while the video shows it being typed. -> PAUSE (showing all of the newly written code) to let people copy it and take it in (pausing a couple of times could even be helpful) -> Then go over the different parts in detail. I understand you can spam pause and rewind as much as you like, but sometimes there was just too much going on at the same time, descriptions and new code being added, with a cut to a new scene without time to process what's going on. Why in this order? When I've been doing these tutorials it has helped me learn to hear a brief overview -> copy the code myself, because when you're writing it yourself it forces your brain to figure out which parts are doing what and where the values for the variables are coming from, etc. Then the actual proper explanation of what's going on tells you if you're right or wrong. Writing the code as a newcomer is also the most stressful part of learning game engines. Making it more orderly also allows time for taking notes, as in the segments I was always back and forth over one sentence. Thx again. :)

adding comment half way through this is definitely very in-depth which is the kind of tutorial I like best especially if you using a program for the first time

I have a lot of trouble understanding and picking things up, especially coding but this video explained it in a way that while still a bit confusing (for me personally) was still able to interpret better than other videos, plus I've made more progress in the hour I've spent on godot watching your videos than the 2 months I spent following stupid Unity guides! I really hope to see more videos because a video format is easier for me to follow than a written one (I have ADHD and a tiny bit of the 'tism so following/remembering instructions isn'y my strong suit) but thank you for making it so new user friendly :)

This is a fantastic tutorial for a beginner like me. Switching from Unity to Godot feels like magic to me (ironically). I now consider Godot as my second home. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

thanks man you have great tempo and a very pleasant voice
