Human Generator 3D Companion for Godot

Early access

The process system is new and only in the early access version of Human Generator. It replaces the process tab of version 4.0, which is deprecated. Details can still change; if something doesn't work or looks wrong, let us know.

A free Godot editor plugin that sets up a character exported with the Godot recipe when Godot imports it: a hair shader on the cards that lights them along their strands, subsurface scattering on the skin, a humanoid BoneMap on the skeleton and an AnimationPlayer. Without it you do the steps of Export to Godot › In Godot by hand.

Tested with	Godot 4.7
Needs	A character exported by the early access version of Human Generator, with its `.humgen3d.json` file and flow map next to it
Licence	MIT, the source is on GitHub

Install

Unzip the download into your project folder, so you get addons/humgen3d_companion/plugin.cfg inside the project. If the project already has an addons folder, the Companion goes next to what is in it.
In Godot, open Project > Project Settings > Plugins and turn on Human Generator 3D Companion.

Use

Export with the Godot recipe to a folder inside your project. Godot imports Jake.glb, and the Companion sets it up as part of the import. What it does can be changed per file in the Import dock, under the humgen3d/ options; press Reimport after changing them.

Only characters with their .humgen3d.json file

Human Generator writes Jake.humgen3d.json next to every exported character. It tells the Companion which files belong to the character, what each material is and where the flow map of the hair is. The Companion only sets up a file that such a file lists, so other characters in your project are never touched, and the naming scheme doesn't matter. Characters exported by earlier versions of Human Generator don't have it; export them again.

Update

Delete the addons/humgen3d_companion folder, unzip the new version in its place, and reimport your characters (select them in the FileSystem dock and press Reimport) to set them up with the new version.

Remove

Turn the plugin off in Project Settings > Plugins and delete the addons/humgen3d_companion folder. Characters keep their setup until they are imported again.
