About godot-sponza

godot-sponza is a 3D demo and benchmark for the Godot game engine, based on the classic Crytek Sponza atrium model. The project showcases advanced rendering features in Godot 4.4 and later, including global illumination, volumetric lighting, and high-quality textures, making it useful for testing engine performance and visual capabilities. Users navigate the interior scene using standard FPS controls: WASD or arrow keys for movement, Space to jump, Shift to crouch, mouse wheel to adjust speed, and right mouse button as a speed modifier. Additional keys toggle the FPS display, mouse capture, fullscreen mode, and a menu. The demo requires importing through the Godot Project Manager and running outside the editor for accurate performance measurement. It supports both the current Godot 4 version and a legacy Godot 3.x branch. The repository includes the publicly available Crytek Sponza assets, the Noto Sans font family, and original source code released under the MIT license. It serves as a visual reference for d

Installation

Clone the Git repository:

git clone https://github.com/Calinou/godot-sponza.git

You can also download a ZIP archive if you do not have Git installed.

You need Godot 4.4 or later to run this demo.

Once you have the project files, open the Godot Project Manager, click the Import button, then select the project.godot file of this project. Confirm importing, then edit the project (so that the resources are imported by the editor). Exit the editor (go back to the project manager), then run the project. This is to make sure the editor does not render the demo in the background, which would slow down the running project a lot.

Controls

W/A/S/D/Space/Shift or arrow keys: Move
Right mouse button (hold): Speed modifier
Mouse wheel: Change movement speed
Escape: Show menu
F1: Toggle FPS display
F10: Toggle mouse capture
F11: Toggle fullscreen
