Godot Integration

How to import a 3D model into Godot 4: drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock, edit PBR materials, add collision and optimize AI-generated models for mobile.

Updated October 2026

To import a 3D AI Studio model into Godot 4, download it as GLB and drag the file into the FileSystem dock. Godot imports it as a scene with PBR materials and textures, ready to drag into your level.

Recommended formatGLB (native glTF 2.0 support)
ImportDrag into the FileSystem dock
MaterialsAlbedo, normal, roughness and metallic read automatically
CollisionMesh > Create Trimesh Static Body or Simplified Convex Shape
Mobile budgetUnder 10,000 triangles per model

How do I import a 3D model into Godot?

Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot imports it as a scene, which you then drag into the 3D viewport or scene tree.

  1. Download the model as GLB from your Dashboard
  2. Drag the .glb file into the FileSystem dock
  3. Godot imports it as a scene
  4. Drag the scene into your 3D viewport or scene tree

Should I use GLB or FBX in Godot?

Use GLB. Godot 4 supports glTF 2.0 natively, and the GLB keeps geometry, PBR materials and textures in one file. FBX also works but may need the FBX2glTF plugin depending on your setup. Simpler: turn the FBX into a GLB with the free FBX to GLB converter.

How do I edit the materials in Godot?

Godot reads the PBR textures from the GLB automatically. To change them, select the MeshInstance3D node and edit or override the material in the Inspector.

  1. Instance the scene in your level
  2. Select the MeshInstance3D node
  3. Expand the Material section in the Inspector
  4. Edit the material, or override it with a new StandardMaterial3D

How do I add collision to a model in Godot?

Select the MeshInstance3D node and use the Mesh menu: Create Trimesh Static Body for complex shapes or Create Simplified Convex Shape for faster physics. Both add a StaticBody3D with a CollisionShape3D as children.

For characters and moving objects, use CharacterBody3D or RigidBody3D instead of a static body.

How do I keep performance good in Godot?

Keep mobile models under 10,000 triangles and reduce high-poly models with the Remesh tool before downloading.

  • Use MultiMeshInstance3D to render many copies of the same model, such as trees or rocks
  • Check the scale after import and adjust the node's Scale to match your game's units
  • GLB keeps imports clean: one file, no missing textures

Common workflows

  • Props and game assets: import the GLB, add a StaticBody3D with a collision shape, place it in the level
  • Environments: import several models, arrange them and add lighting
  • Characters: import a rigged GLB from the Rigging tool and play animations with an AnimationPlayer

Don't have a model yet? Generate one with Image to 3D or Text to 3D and import it into Godot in minutes. Format details are in Export Formats.
