Blender is mostly recognised as a free 3-D modeller (with an idiosyncratic interface), but it also functions as a game maker and video editor.
Add-ons
Modelling
- Sprytile - Crocotile 3D-inspired tools for low-poly modelling.
Level Design
- Level Buddy is a pay-what-you-want CSG-based level modelling plugin.
- Level Builder is a USD$20 plugin for composing levels from different blocks (you have to model the blocks).
Warnings / Workarounds
Blender and Godot
NB: Info here may be out-of-date. I think it naturally works better with Blender stuff now? — rjt (talk)
Godot doesn't get along so well with Blender's implementation of collada / .DAE files, but you can install the plug-in 'Godot Engine's "Better" Collada exporter for Blender' to get a better export.
I think for current versions of both programs you're better served by just export as GLTF2, see:
There's also a plug-in for exporting to Godot's native scene format:
Godot Game Tools helps with animation and tileset things.
Blender and Unity
Blender and Unity treat models a little differently: The forward direction is X in Blender and Z in Unity >:s
More info., and solutions in the guides section.
