Horse Controller Project

🏇 Godot 3D Horse Riding System

A complete horse riding system built in Godot 4, designed to handle realistic mounting, animation flow, IK-based terrain adaptation, and smooth rider–horse interaction.

This is not just a basic setup, it’s a fully working project with source code, created after months of experimentation and iteration.

✨ What You Get

🎮 Full working Godot project (source included)
🧠 Advanced systems (IK, animation logic, navigation)
🎬 Custom made animations (horse + rider)
📘 FREE detailed documentation (explains how everything works)
🧍 Blender files for character setup
🔊 Audio, VFX, and gameplay polish

🔥 Core Features

• Smooth mount & dismount system (left/right aware)
• Advanced IK system (legs, neck, hoof alignment)
• Real-time terrain adaptation using raycasts
• Animation-driven logic using AnimationPlayer callbacks
• Optimized navigation system (runtime local baking)
• Dynamic audio & VFX system
• Rein physics for natural movement
• Clean state machine architecture (LimboHSM)

📘 Free Documentation Included

This project comes with a fully written document explaining:

• Node structure (horse & rider)
• IK setup and logic
• Mount/dismount workflow
• Navigation system
• Animation function calls
• Custom character setup

👉 Perfect if you want to learn how the system works, not just use it.
