Blender Studio developed a pipeline for transferring assets between Blender and Godot using glTF, leveraging Blender's collection export feature. Custom code handled asset separation and data exchange, ensuring efficient collaboration among a team. The process involved automated export from Blender, including ID assignment and collision data, and automated import into Godot, recreating the asset hierarchy. Challenges included managing a central asset index and material duplication; future improvements aim for a more decentralized approach and potentially utilizing glTF extensions. The resulting workflow, while a prototype, is shared to encourage further development of Blender-Godot integration.

This tutorial teaches game development math using C++ and the Tigr graphics library. It progressively introduces concepts like vectors, points, and transformations, building upon basic C++ knowledge. The tutorial uses practical examples, including drawing lines and points, animating a box, and implementing coordinate transformations. It emphasizes understanding the differences between points and vectors and provides functions for common vector operations. The final goal is to create an interactive animation using these mathematical principles.
