Import kenny asset 3d character

icecreamant

Is there a tutorial on how to import and use Kenny 3d assets? As found here:
https://kenney.nl/assets/animated-characters-1

They come as FBX across 3 folders: Animations, Models, and Skins
All files are FBX other than the Skins (png).

The documentation is quite limited on Kenny's site:
https://kenney.nl/knowledge-base/game-assets-3d/importing-characters-and-animations#Godot

And potentially out of date as Godot 4.3+ has its own FBX importer.

When I import the character, I cant see how to map the animations to it, nor a skin. There's no material input in the Editor.

Does any one know of any step by step guides on this process? Or can perhaps point me in the right direction.

If you encounter problems, try FBX2glTF. In some cases, it works better.

But still very unclear how to use these animation FBX files

You need to save the animation to a file.

Ok I got skins working by right clicking the chatacter in a scene and selecting 'edit children'. Then I could set the character's Surface Material Override

But still very unclear how to use these animation FBX files

Cheers @Tomcat I found that setting. And its created a idle.res file. Sorry, how do I use this with the AnimationPlayer? Or am I going about this wrong still?
Cheers

Thank you both @Tomcat and @kuligs2
Will try those points now

Do either of you know if anyone has done a tutorial for this? Im surprised there's not more people trying to use Kenny 3D Characters in Godot, and having similar issues. As there's a lot more steps involved with importing these FBX files.
