Fund ongoing FPE development
Help Keep FPE Free
Folded Paper Engine stays free, open-source, and MIT licensed. Support helps fund ongoing maintenance, docs, tutorials, sample projects, and the first official showcase game. Support helps keep instant Blender-to-Godot game mechanics free, maintained, documented, and backed by real showcase projects.
Ko-fi is the easiest way to support FPE. GitHub Sponsors is available for open-source/dev-focused support.

Three steps from scene art to playable setup
Export standard GLTF
FPE carries custom properties through Blender's existing GLTF pipeline without a custom format.
Import to Godot
Add the FoldedPaperEngine node and let the addon enhance imported nodes with the behaviors you tagged.
Blender scene data, Godot runtime behavior
Instant game mechanics from Blender-authored scenes
Folded Paper Engine turns Blender-authored scene metadata into Godot game mechanics. Use Blender panels to tag players, triggers, physics objects, speakers, inventory items, scene transitions, animation events, and other gameplay behavior. Export standard GLTF, then let the Godot addon load the scene and wire the runtime behavior.
The goal is not to replace Godot development. FPE removes repetitive setup so artists, designers, and programmers can iterate on playable scenes faster.
Because the data travels through standard GLTF custom properties, the same GLTF gameplay metadata can support Blender to Godot game mechanics, quick Godot gameplay prototyping, and later custom runtime scripts.
Built for repeated level work
Less boilerplate between your scene and your game
Characters & Players
Configure rigs, NPCs, camera behavior, and player-facing metadata directly on scene objects.
Triggers & Events
Define area triggers, command catalogs, scene events, and animation frame events in the authoring file.
Physics & Interaction
Mark holdable items, inventory objects, rigid bodies, and collider behavior before export.
Scene Management
Carry sky color, sub-scenes, loading behavior, UI elements, and scene metadata into Godot.
Audio
Set up music imports, looping, autoplay, background tracks, and speakers as part of level authoring.
Escape Hatches
Override generated behavior, add custom scripts, or extend FPE's modular runtime when a scene needs more.
For artists, designers, solo developers, and teams
Prototype faster without locking programmers out
Artists can build interactive scenes without touching code. Programmers can rely on FPE for repetitive setup, then customize the unique parts. Teams get a cleaner handoff from Blender-authored levels to the Godot runtime.
