Hi!
I recently moved from Unity to Godot, and I’m not sure exactly how to animate 3D objects. There are plenty of tutorials involving using Blender to animate, however I would like to edit animations within the editor. I think there must be some way to do this, considering the engine has an animation editing system for 2D, but I would really appreciate some help. I’ve been working in Godot for about a month now, but I’ve been using simple prototypes using CSG shapes and haven’t really had need to animate anything until now.
Could anyone help?
Animation system is the same for 2D and 3D, if you have done 2D examples these skills translate to 3D too. I’d only recommend using it for simple animations: an opening door, a rotating fan, etc. but for characters you’d need a dedicated tool, that’s why you see tutorials with Blender.
Thanks!
I also have 1 more question:
In Unity, there’s a record button that makes it very easy to animate tracks, and I can’t find this in Godot. Does Godot have such a feature and if so, where? Thanks in advance!

I dont have experience with Unity, but in Godot when you activate the animation dock you will see a KEY icon on the properties of your objects, clicking it will insert a key or add a track if there is not one already.

Yes, I’m aware of this, however is there a feature like this: unity animation system tutorial for beginners - Google Suche
(skip to 2:53)
That can track changes and automatically create a KEY?
I know this is a minor feature, but it makes animating a LOT easier, especially for someone inexperienced.
