This tutorial explains how to turn DirectX normal maps into OpenGL normal maps in Krita by inverting the green channel. If you’re used to inverting a normal map channel in Photoshop by selecting the channel and pressing Ctrl+i, you might have noticed that this doesn’t work in Krita. Instead Krita inverts all colors in all […]
rotation_degrees, transform.basis and quaternions If you want to rotate a character towards a point, there are three popular methods you can use: modifying the character’s rotation_degrees.y value, changing the transform.basis or using quaternions. This tutorial will show you how the transform.basis approach works. The transform.basis property of any Spatial node (or nodes that inherit from […]
If you have ever created custom classes by using class_name MyCustomClass in one of your scripts you might have noticed that these classes don’t return their custom class name when you use get_class() or is_class() on them. This tutorial will show you two solutions to this problem. Let’s say you have a Player.gd script that […]

This quick tutorial shows you how to use multiple raycasts in the same physics frame in the Godot Engine. This is useful for raycast (also called hitscan) weapons like shotguns that fire multiple pellets at the same time. Here’s the problem: by default, this doesn’t work in Godot and only the last of multiple raycast […]
