Create a simple cube rigging animation in Blender and use it Godot

[acs]

The goal is to show the simplest rig based animation created in Blender and used in Godot.

For doing it:

• Start from Blender initial cube
• Add a minimal skeleton to rig the cube
• Animate the cube deforming it
• Save the Blender cube animation
• Import it in Godot
• Create a scene using this cube animation
• Implement some logic in the script to manage the animation

This is the first step before going to more elaborate models.

The video is not working ok:

But the process has been completed pretty quickly.

extends Node3D
const move_offset = 0.1
const anim_name = 'ArmatureAction'


# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
	var cube_anim = $AnimationPlayer.get_animation(anim_name)
	cube_anim.set_loop_mode(1)
	$AnimationPlayer.play(anim_name) # Replace with function body.

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
	pass
	
func _input(event):
	if Input.is_action_pressed("Up"):
		if $AnimationPlayer.is_playing():
			$AnimationPlayer.stop(false)
		else:
			$AnimationPlayer.play(anim_name)
	elif Input.is_action_pressed("Down"):
		if $AnimationPlayer.is_playing():
			$AnimationPlayer.stop(false)
		else:
			$AnimationPlayer.play_backwards(anim_name)
