## What it is
An open-source 3D character model and third-person character controller for the Godot game engine, built with GDScript. It provides a Player scene with a finite state machine for movement and a CameraRig with auto-rotation, aiming mode, and collision-safe camera handling.

## Use cases
- add a third-person character controller to a Godot 3D game
- get a rigged animated 3D mannequin character for prototyping
- implement keyboard and gamepad movement with a state machine
- set up a third-person camera with aiming mode and wall collision prevention
- learn how to structure player and camera scenes in Godot

## When to choose
- you are building a 3D third-person game in Godot 3.2+
- you need a ready-made animated character and controller to prototype with
- you want a reference implementation of a movement state machine and camera rig

## When to avoid
- you use Godot 4.x, since the project targets Godot 3.2 only
- you need a first-person controller
- you need a production character with custom art or advanced animation features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
