@YuriComposer Exactly, well said!! 😊

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

Something a little bit different today... how do we translate our movement with a rotating camera?
A short < 3 min (rather shaky, sorry) tutorial, exploring 2D/3D co-ordinate spaces and vector transformations. Featuring rubber duck!

@YuriComposer Hmm my first thought is - well, if the camera is straight-on (like facing someone directly) then yes! But if you step back (z), then left (x), then up (y), you incorporate more dimensions!

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

goddamn can't even turn something 45 degrees

Some rather humble axis markers made from mugwort branches & twine

@Firedingo Beautiful!! Such trust and fluff. They are clearly good little friends 😌

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

lol literally my entire feed is bunnies and beans

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

i hate it!

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

i have just about HAD IT with mice these days. why do they ALL have the stupid button that changes their speed that one only ever presses accidentally???

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

@MashArcade @gameartindie honestly they're just beans with wings

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

my ducks!! are not in a row!

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

@gameartindie thank you; their chaos wreaks havoc 😔

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

@CanvasInfinitum I made them out of little MeshInstances and the godot icon texture one day, just wanting a little prototype friend - now I am quite attached 😅

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

I've just released a Basic 3D Character Controller for #Godot!
🤖 Jump into a #gamedev project with an animated character who can walk, run, & roll
🔧 Customise settings eg. speeds, variable jump, acceleration
🎥 Contains a standalone third person camera

@lowpolybird HAHA it is all just the godot icon - the body/arms/legs are just slightly offset. they are beautiful 😌

[PureRinFunction @PureRinFunction]

Unfathomably based.

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

I HIGHLY recommend this tool; you can import any 3D model - human, avian, quadruped, and now spider and snake!? - easily rig & animate it, and export the animations you want. Similar to Adobe's Mixamo but entirely Adobe-free... please support this creator!

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

Um, I just realised I accidentally recorded the audio of the video I was listening to while working... my apologies Mina Le 😭

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

A little open source delight... a prototype using a single texture from Kenney's prototype assets, the built-in #Godot icon to texture Godotnaut, and Mesh2Motion animations. I'll make this one available on GitHub along with a tutorial so you can code it yourself soon! #gamedev

[FriendlyCosmonaut @friendly_cosmo]

@RealCreavis I reckon so, kind of! 😄
