  • GLTF vs .obj

Hello! When I import a 3D model, with rig and an animation, from Blender 2.8 to Godot, in GLTF format, the model is imported as an whole scene, and I have access to animations. But, when I import it as in .obj format, the model is imported as a mesh, and I can use it for my player (kinematic body), but I do not have access to animations.

How should I import the 3D model, or what should I do to use the model as player mesh and have access to animation?

Obj doesn't support mesh animations. You should stick to gltf.

My general rule is I use Obj if its a static object because its good to have those meshes directly in the scene. However if I need bones/animation/multiple-objects/etc then OBJ wont cut it.

I do find it frusturating how much Godot fights you when you want to edit the heirachy it creates out of an import. Theres some real useability fails in there.
