Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is nothing happening when I import?

The most common issue is that you haven't actually attached the "GLTFImporter.gd" script to your GLTF file. There are two ways to do this:

1) Manually for each GLTF file. Click the GLTF file in the FileSystem tab, then click on the Import tab. Scroll down and set the Import Script to "addons/blender_godot_pipeline/GLTFImporter.gd"

2) Set it in your project settings. This ensures every GLTF file will get the pipeline attached by default. Go to Project -> Settings -> Import Defaults -> Importer -> Scene -> Import Script (Path) -> Set to "addons/blender_godot_pipeline/GLTFImporter.gd"

Do not use Godot import hints like "-col"

Godot import hints interfere with the operation of this pipeline. Make sure not to have any objects in blender with "col", or other import hints, in their name.

Why am I getting "Invalid Owner" errors?

Some of these errors are expected and should not affect the operation of the pipeline.

Why am I getting many errors: Condition "!is_inside_tree()" is true

This happens when you update a GLTF file (for example, making edits to models in Blender, and you hit export), but a different scene is open in Godot. You must have the correct scene open (the one that contains the imported GLTF node) in order for the importer to work properly.
