I've used both Unity and Godot at a hobby level and what I found was that with Unity, I spent almost all my time playing around with game mechanics. With Godot, I always spent a considerable amount of time importing resources and fiddling with them before being able to do anything useful other than add basic shapes to the screen. I think it's probably a problem of being the underdog with a much smaller asset market, but that's literally the one thing that made Unity worth checking out for me. I've downloaded most releases of Godot to play around with them as they come out though, so I'm really excited about it growing further.



There are some issues with the 3D importing pipeline, GLTF is the best supported file format, but they recently added .fbx support so thats good.

I agree that there could be further improvements made there but I've had good luck with .gltf.

Additionally, I've had problems with materials or animations importing into Unity as well. Seems like its a big, common problem.

Unity imports started getting smoother in recent years because marketplaces and artists started specifically targeting unity.
