Why we like it

First Person Kit stands out in the superhive library because it bridges Blender and a Godot 4.6+ template, letting you tag objects for gameplay without leaving your Blender scene.

What is First Person Kit?

First Person Kit, from rileyb3d, is a Blender addon paired with a Godot 4.6+ project template for first-person game development while keeping you primarily within Blender. It lives across three editor areas: the N panel for global settings, creating projects and levels, and play testing and publishing; an Object Properties tab for assigning per-object functionality like doors, audio logs, and inspection objects; and Object Data Properties for objects such as lights. Blender stays synced with your game project files automatically as you add levels or change functionality.

The workflow is straightforward: install the addon, create a new FPK project from the sidebar, open it in Godot, and press play. Tag objects in Blender and they become interactive gameplay elements in Godot. Play testing and compiling require setting a Godot .exe path.

Included mechanics cover physics objects you can carry and throw, inspect mode for key props, hinged doors, locked doors paired with inventory items, toggleable radios with positional audio, light switches, Blender animations that continue playing in Godot, level transitions, and interactive look cameras. Version 2.0 has launched.

Who is First Person Kit best for?

First Person Kit is best for first-person game developers who want to build in Blender and move to Godot 4.6+ with interaction, inventory, and level systems already wired up.

How much does First Person Kit cost?

First Person Kit is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does First Person Kit need Godot to run games?

First Person Kit is a Blender addon paired with a Godot 4.6+ project template, so Godot is part of the workflow. You install the addon, create a project, then open it in Godot and press play. To play test and compile your game from within Blender, you set a Godot .exe path. The addon keeps Blender synced with your game project files automatically as you add levels or change functionality.

How do I set up a new project with First Person Kit?

First Person Kit uses a simple setup: install the Blender addon, create a new FPK project from the sidebar, open it in Godot, and press play. New game projects and levels are created from the N panel, where global settings live. From there you tag objects in Blender through the Object Properties tab, turning them into interactive gameplay elements like doors, audio logs, and inspection objects in Godot.

Can First Person Kit reuse Blender animations in Godot?

First Person Kit lets you animate in Blender and have tagged animation objects keep animating in Godot, without needing to export or import anything. Beyond animation, it handles physics objects tagged in Blender that become RigidBodies in Godot at runtime, along with hinged doors, light switches, and interactive look cameras you position and tag in Blender. These are assigned per object through the FPK Object Properties tab.

Is First Person Kit free to download?

First Person Kit is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and usage details, check the developer's page and the FPK documentation, which also covers the newly launched version 2.0.
