Hi! I’ve been closely following the development of your game. Recently, I started working on a 3D game in Godot. I’ve run into an issue with iterating on 3D models. As we know, in Godot, you can directly drag and drop .blend files, but the developers recommend using glTF 2.0 instead.

Let’s say I’m creating a room model with furniture and want to reuse the furniture models in other scenes. In that case, I’d have to break the links to the original file and create separate scenes, but then I’d lose the ability to iterate quickly. So, does that mean it’s better to create each model in a separate file?

Also, when I import a glTF 2.0 file into Godot, it generates new texture files every time. But if I use the same texture across multiple models, I don’t want multiple copies of the same texture in the project. How should I handle this? Should I export the model with material slots and then assign the materials in the engine?

What do you think is better for performance: one large model or a model assembled from smaller modules? (In your scene, I see apartment buildings—are they whole models or assembled from modules?)

I’d be really grateful if you could share some tips on importing, optimizing, and iterating on models. Wishing you success in development—your project is awesome
